[Scriptoris] working with natural pigments and parchment

[Elaine]

Alicia,
You might want to visit

www.kremerpigments.com/

to find information about pigments from a German company (the above  
is the NYC office). They are the ones who made the pigments for the  
restoration of the art work in Florence that the floods destroyed  
some years ago. I use them to order additives as well.
