Thank you for keeping High Art alive.

Nice video! Finally some practical lessons! Thank You!

WOW, I am just awestruck by your masterful calligraphy! Always wanted to make some illuminated manuscripts, and my whole obsession with antique books and medieval manuscripts started with Amnesia the Dark Descent (full of 1800s books) and Dark Souls III (with all the medieval prayer books and scrolls that grant you spells) Looks absolutely amazing! There is totally a book I want to recommend you called "The Celtic Design Book" which is handwritten and illustrated by Aidan Meehan, an absolute master at celtic art and I think you will find it super useful if you haven't heard of it! Takes a ton of inspiration from books like the Book of Durrow and Book of Kells, and teaches how to make celtic knots and carpet pages, half-uncial script and illuminated letters, and so much more! Thank you for reading this comment, it turned out way longer than I intended 😂

Dam KZfaq, now I'm interested in 8th Century penmanship! LOL. nice work.

Awesome video once again! Btw, are you Catholic?

Hello. I apologize if you have answered this in another video or comment, I briefly looked through your catalogue of videos and didn't see an answer. What is the recipe for the ink that you used in this video? I have been experimenting with making iron gall ink as well, and most recently followed a recipe for a 'US Govt' recipe. It turned out alright, mostly - I have some things to tweak for my own personal desires but I found it a good base point. The oak galls I have gathered unfortunately were infested with earwigs - nearly every one I have found nearby has been this was as well. Have you had this experience as well with your galls? Maybe it is just because my environment is very hot + humid, and the galls are the thin, papery, hollow apple variety rather than the aleppo. Thanks for any response!
