It has a real feel of an old illuminated manuscript, you have captured it so well with the colours and gold touches. I want to go and get my gold ink out and use it on something.MILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-61166328159664161092011-05-26T13:38:58.179-07:002011-05-26T13:38:58.179-07:00Thanks for all the lovely comments folks!

Really glad you liked this one...<br />From the outset I planned to give the original to a painter friend who has just got the all clear after three tough years of battling cancer... he looks a changed man with that weight off his shoulders, though I am a little nervous of giving him my humble artwork - he's been a professional artist all his life...! But I wanted to do something to wish him well.<br />My neighbour saw it and fell in love with it, so I may be making a few limited prints of it at least which if I ever get around to setting up an etsy shop, will most likely find their way there!Windsongs and Wordhoardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211375575810428500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-91041217408149689882011-05-26T02:19:11.883-07:002011-05-26T02:19:11.883-07:00I absolutely love this bird.

I love using gold embellishment in my art too as I f eel it adds an extra dimension. Sometimes I use tubes of gold, copper or silver glass painting outliner and just let loose. Soo much fun.
