Thanks a bunch!</p> <p>I do illuminate my texts by adding Celtic knots and other little decorative features similar to what I find in Celtic manuscripts. I sometimes do calligraphy based on Gothic manuscripts that have more art in them, but I confess that I’m much more of a calligrapher than an artist, and I try to stick with my strengths instead of embarrassing myself by trying stuff that’s beyond my skill. :) I’m much better at plants and decorative figures than at people.</p> <p>Thanks for visiting my blog!</p> Hi, Sally!
