G is for Gothic, calligraphic illumination by Amy Crook
I have to admit, I went for the pun a bit here, combining the Gothic capital with my own Goth sensibilities. The silver spiderwebs are half-seen until they catch the light, and the burgundy G floats in murky gloom, hanging out with the stripey little spider responsible for its extra decoration.
G is for Gothic, 5″x5″ pen & ink, Japanese watercolor, and glitter gel pen on paper.

Above, you can see the silver details shining in the bright summer sunlight. Goths in hot weather, anyone? Below, it’s hanging out on a little shelf with the C and my collection of Endless pewter figurines.

Oh, I think you can make it into Halloween card? *Maybe?*
Probably not, the glitter doesn’t reproduce well once it’s scanned (as you can see), so this whole set is really a bunch of one-offs.
Oh…yes… Just saw your tags the you used glitter gel pen, so I guess that will be same to my drawing (I have one drawing use glitter gel pens, but never scan it before).
They’re really interesting to use, but hell to scan. Pretty in person, though!
