This illumination was inspired by beautiful design style

"Monogram A” - Original, Framed Hardware This illumination was inspired by24k gold leaf on gilding gesso, 24k hand ground gold, azurite, malachite and magnetite stones from locally owned, Gem State Crystals, hand crushed into pigments and made into watercolors, paper dyed with garden onion skins, compass and straightedge construction.
