Yet another illuminated P

Yup, I like that letter, it's purrrrrty. I still want to put little text bubbles on the monsters though.
The one on the top should be saying (In Latin of course) "That's just not right!" or "That can't be good..."
The one on the bottom should have (in Latin of course)"That's gonna hurt" or "that's gonna leave a mark"
( Behind the cut, picture! )

Beautiful, again. Which gold paint did you say you were using?

You're up early, M'lady! It's Schmincke (Aquarell, Horadam) Gold gouache. I do like it, at least until my goldleafing doesn't suck so badly.

(no, not being hypercritical, it really is that bad. Will be trying a thinner, actual gold, leaf when I've the extra money)

I wish that this one enlarged better, since I'm actually happy with it.

I am usually awake at 6:20am on weekdays. :) Not by choice, though!

Schminke rocks. The color is about in tune to the same of shell gold. Same goes for Holbein pearl gold gouache.

Lookin' good!

It's beautiful. I wish I had your talent... (or any talent; LOL) Will I see you at Crown?

Re: WOW! beard5 October 22 2007, 02:58:19 UTC

Oh you have plenty of talent. You do inspire, you know. Unfortunately no, Crown is right out for me, too far to travel. But...one of my scrolls will be there, An AoA.

Re: WOW! mizpagan October 22 2007, 21:07:24 UTC

Thanks. I never thought of things that way. You'll be there in spirit any way. I'll look for the scroll.

Go, boy!

Go, beasties!

Did you get a copy of Tetchubah's grotesque's collection CD? Methinks you would enjoy it. (If not, I could copy mine with her permission)

I didn't get that. You have it? Are the grotesques mostly penwork? If so, it's not something I'm particularly interested in at the moment. (If it's the Luttrell psalter stle, I might be, though I really don't want to be doing Textura Precissus, it's crazy making)
