Added iridescent medium to the gouache for a metallic sheen, which doesn't show up that well in a scan.

For Wolf
It's one of the few gilded pieces I've done (yes, with real transfer gold!) and uncial script.
This was done in class during the Martin Jackson workshop I took earlier this month. I really had to rush to get two pieces done in the time frame.
This piece turned out the best and had other calligraphers (who really know their material) oooing over it. So, it doesn't just look pretty, it's got a very solid calligraphy foundation to even expert eyes.
My instructor helped me professional cut the mat out. The gold is actually paper rather than a second mat.

Guess What I got to buy today?

I'll be working on a project for the Gift of Water gallery show involving papyrus. I bought one each of the light and dark and will see how it works in the piece.
