[scribes]: shameless self promotion ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 20:51:28 -0500 From: David Nolan Subject: [scribes]: shameless self promotion Greetings all; I've noticed recently some new folks have signed on, asking about getting started. I'd like to take this opportunity to mention a kit I put together for beginning illuminators. The kit is $25(US) plus shipping, and includes: - -covered, round plastic palette filled with 10 colors of gouache (I'll list them if anyone is interested--I'd have to go check.) - -size 0 round watercolor brush - -pencil, white eraser, fine point black marker (Zig Millenium) - -50 drafting dots (tape for keeping paper secured) - -3 sheets 9x12 bristol board - -3 sheets tracing paper - -piece of graphite transfer paper - -several clean mussel shells for mixing paint - -Book I wrote detailing how to do 3 different styles of border: bar and ivy, Italian white vine, and "Book of Hours"(acanthus-leafy) The book includes color picures of each style when finished, step by step directions, and a set of finished, but unpainted borders that were photocopied onto cardstock, for those who want to jump right in painting, or to re photocopy for practice, or for kids to color. The book is also available separately for $8. I have a bunch of these available, if anyone is interested, or if there are any questions, please let me know!
