You are right about honey's ability to bind things together. And it's still used in fancy [art supply/art style]
Does that mean I was right ????¿ :o

About that aspect, yes. Which is fundamental to the answer.

Honey might be used as a medium to bind pigments together to make paint. Children dabble in paints ... so ...

Is the answer paint or frescos

Yes! Watercolor specifically, since it was the medium used in anthropological expeditions. But paint it is! 🎨

Hoooraaaaay!!! I beat out ALLLLLLLL the competition to answer this riddle correctly!!

Do you realize, @María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda, that I have been involved with this forum topic for the last four years on an almost daily basis? I don't know if I deserve a medal or a padded cell. :shock:

I will return to submit a new riddle soon, but first I have to finish my finger-painting of The Moaning Lisa (Leonardo's Mona with her fingers caught between the rollers of her wringer washing machine).

@María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda

If you feel you'd like to retire for awhile from The Riddle Thread after the current riddle has been solved I will join you.

As for your reply, it is not a diamond.

HINT: It was far more valuable to women at an earlier time in history when it was less available.

I don't really want to quit. What we need is a plan for the rest to come back!

Although I have not been actively involved for four years, I do enjoy reading the riddles. Usually, they are too hard for me to figure out, and then there is always the danger that I will win and have to come up with my own riddle. Also, for some reason, I am no longer notified when there is a post. I guess I need to check my settings.

@María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda

It is not a tortoiseshell although that is a very good answer.

HINT 2: Staying with the "women's choice" clue .... the period I was in short supply for women's need was the 1940s.
