Illuminated Book of Shadows

In the coming weeks, Brahm will be starting his very own online group exclusively for the folks who own our work. The focus will be to demonstrate how to easily illuminate pages for their Book of Shadows and Grimoires. A good number of people already know how to use old style fonts for the text and how to add clip art to design a page for their book (for those who don't, they will after participating.)

Brahm will also be showing how to hand paint the illuminated pages. Even for folks who don't think they are artistic, will find out how easy it is after learning a few easy techniques. Brahm will cover the use of gold gilding, aging techniques, and how to finish the edges of the paper once the page is done. The outcome will produce incredible results.

He plans on starting the group so everyone can share in the creativity and make some new friends. Be sure to keep checking for when the group gets up and running and join in, it will be great fun. You may also want to drop us an e-mail to let us know that you are interested in joining. It is a closed group, limited to those who own our work, not that we wouldn't mind sharing with everyone, we are simply trying to protect artwork that the group might share with one another from ending up on Ebay.
