Blank B

A pen-work B based on British Library MS Arundel 325 f.36, French, 1st half of 14th C. This one smudged while I was working on it. :( But only a little bit, and I think I covered it enough so it passes the arm's length test.

Blank A

A pen-work A based on British Library MS Arundel 11 f.9, English, either between 1440-1447 or after 1465. I only just now realized that the initial was done in red, blue, and gold, not just red and blue; the printed copy of the image I was working from didn't make this clear. Oh well. If I'd realized, I would've done it in gold too, but I didn't.
