This was super helpful! I liked that we got to see the process beginning to end.

Beautiful! For the “I” letter, I saw a beacon of light shining brightly represented as the letter. Near the top of the page I would’ve added clouds billowing outwards towards the reader, and near the bottom flowers and vines blooming and blossoming out as well. Like the page is coming alive and growing out of the paper. A perspective art piece if you will, to represent the writing. I tried illuminating a whole book once…never got past 3 or 4 pages 😅😂

I just found your channel and absolutely love your work!
What are you using for drawing the lines and how do you erase them in the end? And where could I find more information for learning these old techniques?

Some interesting choices. Like the t not having an ascender or spacing the letters a half letter size offset from the masculine G.

The bible ae? Classic 👍 have you ever thought of doing the book of hours by Lorenzo De Medici? That's another classic bit of medieval art as well, you might like it actually.

You have beautiful ink writing skills.
I found the music hard for me to concentrate though. Just a point for you.
