On to the one-word Trifecta Weekly Challenge we were asked for a 33-333 word response to the third definition of a the word Colour using the meaning
- Complexion tint
- Characteristic of good health
- Blush [natural bloom] … I believe leather has this more human quality.
While the elderly manuscript with its finely tooled leather bindery had lost its rich colour of Moroccan tanned calf hide; its pale vellum leaves, richly illuminated, sparkled as new, nearly five centuries later.

It’s funny, the sorts of things that fade and the things that only get brighter (:
From the human point of view we all fade on the exterior but I have a strong sense of brightness from within … only on a good day! 😉
I like the ‘elderly manuscript’ description. Love the photo, too!
A dear image never fails to impress … even better in the flesh!
This is a very pretty piece.
Great contrast there-loved the texture of this piece-great job in so few a words!
Oh, I can smell the age and feel the thin paper between my fingers. Nicely done.
Thank you _/\_ x
it makes me think of patchwork quilts. Those made of velvet, etc in the 1800’s did not last as well as the lowly cotton ones.
