You lied to me! You said you couldn't draw, but look at the pen control in this work!

All of the pen-work was copied stroke for stroke from an original not of my making. I should perhaps have said more specifically that I cannot compose my own drawings, which remains true.

It's so beautiful, and such a labour of love. It must have been really satisfying to make.

It was. I have rarely been so proud of something I've created.

What an impressive artwork! It is a treat to see something like this on dA! Is that gold leaf I see? I particularly love the consistency of size as regards the graphic elements. It would have been tempting, I'm sure, to start filling in with larger motifs, but the scrolling of the vines and the scallops of the leaves is very attractive. Thank you for sharing such a nice piece of work

Thank you.
It's not all that hard; just time-consuming.

Holy crap, that's beautiful! I'd love to be able to do illuminated manuscripts- I love them so much- but have neither the skill and patience for it

Thank you. Yes, there was quite a bit of patience involved. Which is probably why I haven't done more like it.

Hours and hours - and hours - bent over the page drawing the design very carefully with a fine pen.
Thank you, by the way.
