Illustrated Manuscript "Snowdrop" in progress...
I've always loved enchanted stories and have been fascinated with illuminated manuscripts from the beginning of time. Anna Sakse's book "Flower Tales" has been one of my all-time favorites. This particular tale is about "Snowdrop." In the age of virtual realities and mass digitalization, I have a dream that something as real and masterful like handcrafted goldleaf manuscripts can still be created...
Experimental discovery phases...
Sketch, sketch, sketch, ink, ink ink...
Hours, days, and weeks practicing calligraphy...
The Wonderfull creative chaos in the studio...
If I had a time machine, I would go back to scribes in the monasteries and learn from them how to make a perfect manuscript, and not return until it is done.
