Illuminated Letters

My journey to learn about illuminated calligraphy
(hand writing with small illustrations) starts with M. Morgan's
Bible of Illuminated Letters: A Treasury of Decorative Calligraphy

 Copious examples that will leave anyone who loves calligraphy drooling.

Detailed step-by-step instructions to replicate the intricate detailing.

A nice balance between the more complex and simpler "hands."

This gorgeous modern illuminated piece is by Janet Mehigan, her book
"The Practical Encyclopedia of Calligraphy" also has clear directions
with a more modern take on potential hand lettering applications.
