grey hair, fluff, and murrine 🔮
#dragon age#cullen rutherford#ndo sta l'art tag#in my head he's one that gets old like cheese for a couple of decades at least then he becomes the paper that holds the cheese#which is great honestly we stan#na sindone#=the holy shroud#(keeping the italian comment so to laugh with/at myself in the future)#u know those old guys that wake up at 5am walk 70 miles and then go back home for breakfast for then spending the majority of the morning-#-reading the newspaper and commenting it like a teapot in front of bread and a single glass of tepid water?#him. an old teapot that complains because 'back in his youth!!'#*blows on trumpet* useless history time!#la murrina is glass processed in small tiles to create a pattern#the technique is typical of venice (murano island specifically) but that kind of processing is 2000+ years old#the original recipe that the romans (very much stole *coughs*) utilised got lost in the middle ages#so in the xvi century artisans in murano made their own formula for processing glass in a similar way#the name comes from myrra (myrrh) because originally murrine were used for cosmetic holders#they're very tacky yes#but you know what else is tacky?#a man that dresses up as a lion unironically#(I love him)
