Letter "M" done by Michele DiPalo Williams.
I am sorry to have missed the March meeting lead by Nancy Sampson who is such a great instructor, who lead the Scribes in Whitevine Lettering. From the Illuminated Alphabet - An Inspirational Introduction to Creative Calligraphy by Timothy Noad, she broke down the steps of creating the illuminated letter along with the history of Whitevine Lettering. This a beautiful art which began in the fifteenth century in Rome and then spread to other parts of Europe. The Roman Caps were made to look as if they were carved in stone with the vine intertwining around it. Gold Leaf burnished adds a shine, as Amy experienced in her 2nd letter.
