"A closer look at the prospective catastrophe. I kept reminding myself not to be too hasty. Everybody thought that gown on Rose was way too orange, until the warmer colored marble surrounded it. I shouldn't make the same mistake, as I knew there would be white work scribbles over the orange letter, which was bound to tone it down some. Honestly? -- my hindbrain asked. Trust me. -- my forebrain replied. There was also the diapering pattern, which needed to be done in a cool hue, and I had already decided it should be blue.

"There's bit of a closer view of some of the gilding. Aldith had a very hard time doing the rather intricate shapes around the Lombardic letters that make up the bottom border of the frame around the large letter with its miniature scene." -- Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova
