Subject: Madder lake
I am looking for recipes--ingredients, proportions, steps--or references to recipes for making madder lake pigment. So far, I have found one, which seems good, at <URL:http://www.rubioviolins.com>, but welcome any other suggestions or tips, especially if you have ever made it yourself. There is also a relatively detailed description of the process in "The Chemistry of Paints and Painting" by A.H. Church, M.A., F.R.S. (Seeley and Co. Ltd., London, 1890).
