Arundel 66 f1v red and white roses around an M, w/ gothic cursive - ideal for a lady of the Rose
Royal 12A XVI f3 Crowned arms of England with roses around Q, gothic cursive - substitute other armory for the English arms.
This one is not as finely drawn or painted as some examples, but to me, that makes it more accessible - something that is perfect just sets the bar for my illumination way too high. The strawberries suggest a duchy, if you want, or you can change them to other flowers.
The real challenge though would be making it to original size - about A5, or half a normal sheet of paper.

The Harley 2443 f2 is very similar to the Marmion school of Illumnars. They are my favorite! The difference here is that this artist left the background plain. The Marmion books have an almost diapering background with shading to give the illusion of depth.
Very pretty choices in all. :)
