It's finished! It's a little sloppier than I had hoped (the colored pencil does not work well when you get up close to it, plus the paint I added with lace did not cover the whole thing as well as I wanted it to), but from a distance it looks the way I wanted it to - like a mouth, with text in the background. I had originally planned to write an excerpt from Canterbury Tales in the background, since the project idea came from reading that, but I wanted something cleaner and I didn't have any copies of Canterbury Tales laying around, so I used pages from Romeo and Juliet instead. The title, "She Leet No Morsel from Hir Lippes Falle," or "She Let No Morsel Fall from Her Lips" in modern English, is an excerpt from Canterbury Tales and the reason I was inspired to use this subject in the first place.
