Sparkly!

"An overall picture of the scroll with the calligraphy and illumination complete. It looks quite impressive from a distance, but we have not yet progressed to the point where the gesso is flat and smooth enough to yield up the perfect mirror-like shine to the gold. But not bad at all for beginners!

"At this point, the gilding and calligraphy were protected by being covered up with plain paper." -- Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova
