aryanhwyPanache for Elenore of Lyonesse
The design is based on fol. 135 of Pierpont Morgan Library MS 374, a missal dating to before 1431, reproduced on p. 233 of Smeyers, Flemish Miniatures. I'd been wanting to draw one of those complicated floral borders for awhile, but most of them are very dense and detailed. When I found this image, which is bright and colorful but relatively sparse, I was excited about trying it. I drew out the lay-out in the first day, inked and painted the border, did the calligraphy, and added the gold on the second day, and then did the whitework on the last day.
