Illuminated border

Gwen

This was my daughter Elsabelle's first attempt at illumination. Our inspiration was BL MS Royal 20 A IV ff. 2v-3. I drew (most of) the design and inked (most of) it (she drew a few roses herself and did some inking herself), and then she painted and gilded all the rest. I did a bit of touching up on the inking afterwards, but only a very small bit.

The entire project took two days, 3-4 hours per day.
