Re: Gold: From lead to...

Gold's archaic alchemical and philosophical associations. As one of the planetary metals, Au was linked to the sun, Apollo, crowns, the lion (due to its own golden crown), and the human head.

Also known as an alchemist's dreamboat.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

That looks great Mito. Excellent colours and composition.

Your seaborg entry is neat as well. But the squid should be fighting a phoenix.

I'm going to keep saying it until you do it.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

Excellent Mito, I can't believe you had the time to do this amazing entry too! I really enjoyed working with you on Seaborg! Two super entries this week, you should do awesome.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

I really like the colors that you used for this.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

I think I would buy one to wear....

Love the design!

Re: Gold: From lead to...

Love the Alchemy theme! gmv!

Re: Gold: From lead to...

whoa. pretty.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

Wah, thanks so much for the comments and votes. I'm glad you guys like the colors. I'm pants at matching things, so it's always gladdening to hear that things worked out all right for once. As for the alchemy theme...there's nothing like a little history and questionable science.

Re: Gold: From lead to...

Great! GMV

Re: Gold: From lead to...

Fantastic colors on this. It works surprisingly well on the olive. =)

Agreed, the colors are really excellent. I love me some olive green, probably the most underrated color.

Eep. Thanks for all the comments and votes, everyone. I honestly appreciate each and every one of them. I don't know if that makes me strange or what, but..."Fantastic"? Aww, happiness. Either way, this one was very time consuming, so thank you all for validating my hard work.
