DIY Voyninch-esque Codex

a few days ago i read the Codex Seraphinianus and the Voyninch manuscript, and i wanted to do something similar.

Its very simple, actually! for the sake of the tutorial, I won't be aging or binding mine, and i won't include how you should bind it, as i have no idea how.

you need:

1. Pen (dip pen, ballpoint pen, fountain pen, in any color.)
2. paper (hard paper, but not cardboard.) (at least 10 pages)
3. art skills (DUH.)
4. coffee/water, tea, or soy sauce
5. an oven
6. colors (optional)

Developing a language is usually the first step. (unless you want to use old english)

I developed the language Junkle, but you can make your own.

for simplicity, use an alphabet based language. (an alphabet means that the language has a separate glyph for each consonant and vowel.)

Now that you have your alphabet, think of some ideas for your Codex.

here are a few examples:

1. a book of wonders
2. a bestiary
3. a religious text

write them down if you want.

with a brush, paint your pages with the material of your choice. (MUST be from the supplies list)

design a cover and make the title with your language.
