Illuminated Letters | Illuminated Manuscript Letters

Beautiful Illuminated Letters enhanced with 22 carat gold leaf.
This capital letter F is made with 22 carat gold leaf and decorated with gouache. The gold leaf is laid on base of gesso, which raised the gold slightly above the paper adding both sparkle and texture to the piece.

The gesso has to be made by hand in small quantities and uses the same process and recipe as those used by the monks and scribes who created the illuminated manuscripts such the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels.

This is a slow painstaking process as each stage requires time to dry before the next step can be taken.
