Nell's treat


In the Gilding Workshop that Peter Thornton just instructed, he lettered each student's name with his ruling pen. Here's is Nell's, which I thought was especially exciting. There was a blob of ink that fell on the page as he was lettering, so he just made it a part of the piece! Blew on it with a straw and ta-da!

As you can see, the Versals are gilded.
