I made a manuscript book. From concept to finish this took 6 weeks in Judy Detrick's Manuscript Book class. I have calligraphed two poems by early 20th century #sanfrancisco poets and illustrated some famous San Francisco sites. The illuminations are inspired by medical book of hours and feature some of my favorite businesses in San Francisco and flowers often found in gardens here.
