Nothing and everything changes with time and still stays the same. It is the embellishments we, each, give to the expression of our epoch that echo the before in a language of now. What's the old saw, "There is nothing new under the Sun."

Some interesting things, again the "resting of the blade", Crocus powder and the "Black Lead" for smoothness.
Still have to try that Lead thing...
