ID: "wk 1 - New Year - "New
Beginning" The Edmonton Calligraphy Society had Leslie Winakur give a lecture on the history of Illuminated letters and then a brief demonstration. So thought I'd use a bit of what I learned... On 110# Staples white cardstock drew my letter then inked with Kuretake Vermilion Sumi ink. Doodled with Holbien Prussian Blue gouache sprinkled with Neuberg Ebel fine silver powder. Filled is some of the areas with Kurtetake Silver Mica ink. For the text I sprinkled the Prussian blue with Schmincke gold powder. |

ID: wk 3 - Janus - Black Gold I'm not a chocoholic but I do enjoy Ferrero Rocher... I've usually saved the wrappers to do something with them one day!!! Well this is the day... Smoothed out the wrinkles as best as possible then adhered to regular 110# cardstock. I tried writing using my Sumi ink, but it just beaded all over the place. So pounced a bit of Sandarac and tried again. Much better. I used a 6.0 parallel pen and the Sumi ink, then a B-5 nib for the rest. Black Gold doesn't exist except as man made but the Rocher chocolate can definitely take its place.
