This is a blog to show my progress. I will be scanning the copies of my older scrolls shortly, but for now, I present a Silver Brooch. It was presented at 100 Minutes War this past November.
This is my first attempt at gilding. I learned a lot, such as making sure I leave plenty of room between the gold for illumination. Overall, though, I was very happy with it.
Here is the exemplar:
Book of Hours, Initial, Walters Manuscript W.90, fol. 248r by Walters Art Museum Illuminated Manuscripts http://flic.kr/p/ncovKM
Hot press paper, gold leaf, gouache, oak gall ink.
Calligraphy, illumination, and words all by me.
