"This piece was inspired by our homework to make the 'Codex Aureus' or Golden Book our own. In the codex the lines of text alternate from gold letters on one line to letters surrounded by gold on the next. As I thought about this, I had the idea of ribbons of gold cutting through the page. These ribbons would intersect the lines of text letter in a free flowing motion and not be confined to specific lines. This work is on a 13" square piece of calf vellum. The raised gilding was created with Instacol on top a layer of acrylic gesso. The flat gilding was created with 2 layers of gum ammoniac. 23kt patent gold was used for all of the gold work and loose leaf palladium was used for the silver frame. "
