And now it sits on the counter overnight. You want the beaten egg whites to separate. Not recommended for meringue, totally recommended for medieval paints https://t.co/hSR6QdDYLT

[Hargrett Hours @HargrettHours]

Your goal: beat your egg whites to stiff peaks, without using any sugar or cream of tartar. Big fan of the electric mixer at this point - living in the future is great! https://t.co/9e2ASW3ZOM

Preparing to paint with medieval paints tomorrow. Tonight, we make egg glair!

It's simple stuff. Take some eggs

Separate your eggs, cause you only need the whites.

So much good stuff went down this spring with the Hargrett Hours exhibit at @hargrettlibrary -- like this great video that student docent Emily Watson put together for it: https://t.co/e154HlDAlS Learn more at https://t.co/slc6J7sr8O

If you haven't seen it, check out the exhibit on the Hargrett Hours at @hargrettlibrary! And learn about how it came to be, pandemic notwithstanding: https://t.co/slc6J7K2xo

[Hargrett Hours @HargrettHours]

We've been quiet the past year and a half, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy! Catch up with our recent events and look forward to fall semester with us! https://t.co/slc6J7K2xo

Since we're doing "book technologies" rather than more traditional "manuscript studies" this semester, this seems an apt way to start the semester.

Welcome to Fall 2020, dear students.

If you get *really* bored during lockdown, you can try making parchment from fish skin.

(I'm not that bored yet, BTW)

[Hargrett Hours @HargrettHours]

Lay women reading books in the early Middle Ages?

Tell me more.

[Hargrett Hours @HargrettHours]

EVERYONE! The Biblotheque Nationale de France in Paris has created a "make your own medieval monster" app using bits and pieces of creatures found in their medieval manuscripts.

Yeah it's in French, but still. Hours of fun for the whole family!

Cat meme Thursday is a thing, right? Well, it is now.

Have a thread about medieval cat memes.

[Dr Kathryn M Rudy @katerudy1]

Yes. Traditionally, parchment is made from animal skins. This is made from salad.

I'm sorry, did you say VEGAN PARCHMENT?

[Dr Kathryn M Rudy @katerudy1]

Vegan parchment: Dizzy Pragnell, UK artist, makes books from thin slices of vegetables. This is the world's driest borscht. Will be on view in Sense-ational Books, opening 9 April @bodleiancsb
