[Book] Unknown alphabet - exhibition and book

[Bluetoes101]

Congrats, its nice to see this page so clean. 

A detail I find interesting is that the north-west "waves" are the only ones interrupted before they make it to the next circle, and these, as you show, have the "line dot" pattern and all the others only have "line". To me, from that we might imagine what the drawer infers by "line-dot" and "line" which, I think, is pretty cool.  

I have no real idea what the ROS is, other than quibbling over building/container, but I thought your framed work looked awesome and I hope people stopped and enjoyed it during your exhibition. 

Thanks for sharing and as someone who has copied the work in the VM drawings also it was interesting to read your insights, I think, just my personal opinion, that a lot of the drawings are quite well done and a lot of care taken, and if people want to re-do them they will find a lot of details that required a skilled hand, however the painter was... not as adept, or maybe that the drawer was not quite so good at painting. But either way the drawings are not so bad as people may think.

It makes me happy to hear that, thank you! Sorry, I do not know how to use the quotes, I put your comments in cursive.

Yes, that is an interesting observation. there are so many details! A thing I have not ideas about, yet, are the dots - how and where they appear. I find it interesting that from the symbol of vitriol (or/and the T and O map), in the upper right corner, there is a connection to the wave-circle. This connection is divided in two parts: blue and yellow. The yellow part has two dots, while the blue part has one dot.

I am glad you enjoyed reading the insights. As I have enjoyed many of your posts and find your observations good, it means a lot to hear that from you. I agree that many of the Voynich drawings have good qualities! It is also interesting to hear that you use drawing as well, as a way to work with the manuscript.

Absolutely wonderful, Siv

I'm glad the manuscript keeps inspiring artists like us!

Beautiful work! I really like your rendition of the Rosettes page. I'd love to see it in full resolution - maybe you can upload it to Google Drive or something like that?

Thank you, I am so happy to hear that! 

I have quite a good camera, but the lines are really thin, and the drawing is almost two meters wide, so I couldn't get it sharp enough a single photo. I will try to take several photos and combine them when I have time.

Thank you for letting me know! 

I see that there is a wrong link attached to the headline. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
