cassie,
your questions are all quite good, and your current explorations are starting to poke at those questions in certain ways, so i'd say to keep on pushing forward. you need to move forward, which is different from simply repeating what you've done for two images now.
one of your questions is "How can the history of illuminated text be applied to typography today?", and i immediately realized that many of those letterforms look custom-drawn. the letterform in the book of kells is quite unusual in its overall structure. do you need to be custom drawing the letterform itself as your starting point?
another question is about how the rendering style can be made meaningful rather than arbitrary. are the methods you have been using (collage and drawing) meaningful, and if so, what makes that rendering style meaningful? since audobon did watercolors or whatever medium he did, does that mean you should emulate that?
keep moving in the same direction, but really seek to push forward and not repeat the same way of making. you have to keep making a lot in order to learn what you're doing and how you might do it differently.
