Nicely put together!,
This review is from: Illuminated Initials in Full Color: 548 Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This is especially helpful for letter-illuminating ideas, though you need to know what you're doing because there are no guiding instructions.

This book was very helpful to me in making an alphabet using gold leaf,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Illuminated Initials in Full Color: 548 Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Most of the initials were very colorful and usable. I wanted initials that used gold in them and most of them did that. Many were similar to the old manuscript letters and some
were new. Some were a little confusing....but they are fun to use.
