The new printer arrived today. Woot! Wasn’t expecting it until next week. But now that means, I have everything I need to start working on my entry for Queen’s Prize.
Ilaria came over tonight to pick up some preprints I’d done. She gave me some gum arabic too! How sweet was that! So now I have a period gold size too. 
This is what I’m going to try to recreate. It is from the Aberdeen Bestiary. If I were to let my imagination run away with me, I’d plan on doing this same one over and over until I’m using all period materials. Or each time I learn to use a new period material, I do another illustration from this bestiary. But I’m not going to let my imagination run… just yet.
