then : now :: illuminated

I am so excited about this post because i adore illuminated manuscript illustrations AND i adore Shira Sela's work. lots of adoration at botaniche today!

Looking at some of Shira's other work, i could have almost paired her with an art nouvea poster, but I think her sense of color, shape, detail, and perspective truly fit in with the old manuscript. so lovely! See more of her work here.
