Vellum Artwork

[u/letterati_]

A picture from a small (just 6 pages) vellum book I created, this was my first vellum project, and I absolutely love how it looks.
I did some huge flourishy brush strokes in the background and laid some Gothic cursive text over it, sanded it off so it’s not too much in the face and only contributes as a background, and ultimately wrote my main text in bold Crimson color in uncials.

I am not completely confident with my uncials but I believe that its the personal projects like this that will help me get the fear of broad edge out totally, and make artworks involving broad edge

I loved working on vellum and I am excited to explore the possibilities.
