How to create a beautiful illuminated manuscript
The video is on ArtBabble. Thanks to Maria Popova for the link--it made my mediaeval geekiness come out (I studied a lot of mediaeval history in grad school and used to be part of the Society for Creative Anachronism, so although I knew the steps, it still was nice to watch. It's very clear and entertaining).
