I translated the Old Dutch into English, and am currently working on making an English verison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/f76884d6-9e01-49ee-900c-21d941037576/20201114_200111.jpg Portfolio - Replicating a Medieval Manuscript What good is having an English version of a medieval manuscript if you don't have the pictures, too?

Well... it seems short until you have to write 117 of them, anyway! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/f30f298f-070a-4659-8bcb-12fe164826e6/20200406_232122.jpg Portfolio - Easter Cards Just because I do something in large numbers doesn't mean I forget the personal touch! Every single card was addressed by name. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/06d76585-c0a9-4089-b074-d9302191ef04/20200531_123438.jpg Portfolio - Easter Cards Yes, I really wrote 117 of them. As you can see at the top, I eventually ran out of black cardstock and had to improvise. No matter. Nothing gets in the way of Easter beauty! Nothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/204b1356-e4bb-44cb-a7bd-4f3135fedc78/20200531_123627.jpg Portfolio - Easter Cards Another view of the "full set," before I added the names of the recipients. https://www.siglum-calligraphy.com/portfolio/project-two-pzk69 monthly 0.5 2022-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/0097ce85-dbfb-4354-808d-2ceaa376d9fc/20211027_145449.jpg Portfolio - "Gospel of Mark" complete manuscript book The final book (bottom) and some loose, unbound pages (top) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/d2cdea98-49d5-4393-977e-9692782a20de/20210724_150150.jpg Portfolio - "Gospel of Mark" complete manuscript book The book open to chapter 16, displaying the painted initial for that final chapter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/1dade7a0-7392-4ae6-8007-2628ac09a747/20210626_192051.jpg Portfolio - "Gospel of Mark" complete manuscript book Some of the painted initial letters I made for various chapters, and the tools I used to make them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f559e8c4915390662d62c/46326947-904c-4bf8-93d7-89fd045c84ec/20210503_030016+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - "Gospel of Mark" complete manuscript book The initial letter for Chapter 14 (the Last Supper).
