The design of the simple elliptical portraits in Archive never satisfied me. My glass shaders don't operate in Archive's builder environment, and I couldn't agree with the basic version. However, I used to know of this painting and was obsessed with the style of its border, so I took that for the Archive. (1/3)

This was hard to make. At first I wanted to create a shape in Pixelmator and have different levels of strokes on it, then have Pixelmator turn each border into a separate SVG Path that I could use. But it failed to do so, and so, by hand, I had to create three different layers of the same shape by measuring the stroke of the previous and use it for creating the portrait painter. (2/3)

The original inspiration for this borders are this Manuscript Miniature (2020) by Mr. Brain Abshier. Great and amazing work (3/3)

The search was broken in layout times, and so I adopted a VSCode extension threading style for it, then improved the look of the search: squaricles for the search days, and flags for results. Still, the search needs much rewriting but is better for the time when I have to figure out how it must look. (1/1)
