Done!

Jason scroll, originally uploaded by alizkye.

The scroll is done! Yay!

It's okay. There are parts I like and parts that could have been done much better. But...it's done.

I'm in the planning stages for the next one (which should be easy from a design pov as it will be a heraldic document style and I have a pretty good idea what it will look like.). After that (or concurrently) I'm doing some design on a Celtic style piece (and I've figured out how I want to do it) and then doing some mode book Lutrell style pages.

I walked 2 miles this morning and cleaned the house a little bit.

While I have no doubt that everything is peachy keen, I learned the hard way NOT to say "done!" until the C.H. says "put the seal on." :-)

*grin* Just cuz you messed up.....:) *kidding* It's a pretty simple blazon, I'm pretty sure it's okay.

Thought I commented earlier, but it's not showing up.

Great job on the leaf shading! Yellow is a difficult color to shade well and I think you did a great job with it.

The calligraphy is nice and even, which is great. Next time squish your words together a bit more and it will be even better.

In short, spiffo!

I have a heck of a time with that hand. I know it ought to be more squished together, but my modern brain rebels :). Next time. Thanks!

While the hand might be more authentic squished together a bit more, the court herald in me is happy to see a hand that I can READ, even in the usually less than optimal lighting without having to fumble with a script or other aid!

I think it looks absolutely lovely, and I agree that the emblazon is spot-on (though I did 'cheat' and look at the original paperwork since I have that available). It's an exact match, actually - the stag's head is better done in this version, though! Good Job!

Thank you :)

Is this all written by hand? I thought it was a font you'd used. You did a great job! Where did you get the idea to do this?

Hi Nancy,

Yup it's all done by hand, both the writing and the artwork, though the motifs for the art is mostly from the Gottingen Model Book which is 16th Century art book. The piece is an award scroll for a local member of the SCA. I'm working on my next piece right now.
