Illuminated Notecard

 

Last week, my students worked on illuminated or decorated initial bookmarks. Since my tablemate, L, sent me a valentine, I made her a notecard with an illuminated initial. Her artwork features pen and ink drawings of sheep so I illuminated her initial with a chubby lamb.  The centers of the flowers are 23K gold dots, but they don't show up well in the photo.

    1. I love sheep, too. The Eldest's favorite stuffie was a lamb, Lambie. Lambie is well loved and the Eldest still has her.

  2. I like that letter L with the sheep. Very clever and cute too. You can never go wrong with sheep. Rain tonight. I'm hoping for some major melt and no flooding. Stay dry. hugs-Erika
