Fore-edge painting is a rare art book form that was introduced into English edge decoration in the 10th century by monks. A phantom image of the painting is seen when the book is closed. To see the complete painting which is under gold, the book has to be opened and the leaves fanned out--this creates a magic quality to the book. To see and purchase a fore-edge painting go to www.melodykrafftartist.com. Commissions are welcomed. Portraits can also be done on Bibles for memorial services, anniversaries, and other meaningful events. As a Visionary Artist, which is an intuitive spiritual medium Melody Krafft offers private readings and sketches of Spirit Guides, deceased loved ones on the Other Side, past lives and soul portraits in person or by phone.
