An AoA for Barleycorn

Another page from the Book of Kells, f 34v and f 45r.

This is a combination of two pages within the book, both from the same section of the book. I love that there were multiple people who worked on the Book of Kells, and the differences in their styles show slightly. There are some changes on this scroll over the original text - I over embellished the capital letters, and did use some gold where there is none in the Book of Kells.

The knotwork on this is smaller than I've done in the past, and I think better as I'm learning more about how the knotwork flows.

This is not my best calligraphy, but I think it's slightly better than in the past.
