Marvin,
I have this image of you in a long robe and pointed cap covered with ancient symbols, cackling madly as you tend bubbling beakers in a crumbling tower laboratory!
And in reality, ancient alchemy and art do overlap. I listened to this fascinating book on tape (while painting, course) called The Arcanum by Janet Gleeson. It's the true story of the development of the highly secret formula for European porcelain.
