Bummed

[aliskye]

I think I'm a little sad? bummed? disappointed? this morning. I don't know what I was expecting but I'm disappointed that there was next to no reaction to the Scroll Challenge and I got zero feedback on my scroll at Coronation. Now, I didn't do either thing for any kind of acclaim but it makes me feel bad that apparently no one cared. Sigh.

Oh well. I had a good walk this morning, a little over two miles. I'm not sure how I'll do on my weigh in today, but I did try to increase my exercise over the past week (although I didn't get any over the Coronation/QC weekend.

Okay, off to work.

I'd be willing to do a scroll. It'd be my first but well I guess now is as good a time as any to start right? What would I need to do?

Also the scrolls you posted here before were awesome. I was not at Coronation but what I saw looked great. :)

I'd suggest doing a practice piece for yourself as a start and getting over to the Kingdom Scriptorium, or class at Collegium or (hopefully) a workshop in Altavia, Angels or Lyondemere that I hope to have in the new year.

Some of my supply recommendations are a little different, but she has some fabulous lesson plans.

I've joined the list and main SC&I one too. I have been working on a practice one for myself for sometime. I have many supplies in hand too. I will try and get over to the next scriptorium though the hard part is I work in El Segundo and get off at 3:30pm and live in Hollywood. I guess I could go there right after work and occupy myself until it starts.

I'm going to try and have some weekend scriptoriums in the new year. Possibly in Torrance in conjunction with the Sunday morning fighting practice.

Sounds great. Something not after work. I found a website that talks about whitework painting. I really like what I have seen done so far. It looks cool. :)

I think the trick to white work, is a paint that won't blend into the background (i.e. a permanant white that won't turn pink or blue unless of course you want it to) and a good brush. I'm loving my 18/0 liner brush right now.
