Illuminated letters are elaborate designs that are usually found in medieval manuscripts and handwritten books that were illustrated by monks during the middle ages.The embellishments were usually enriched with gold leaf and brilliant colors,that were small artworks within themselves. Illuminated P - Tutorial by *somk will guide you through the process to re-create this wonderful decorative technique. (Featured by ^znow-white)

Will you walk into my parlour? said the spider to the fly
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy,
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there.
