I wanted a use for my new scarlet paper to test how good it is. It's nice, takes paint well, but it also picks up fingerprints. Whoever gets this blank, has a Saraswati thumbprint too. Whoopsie. I went through my 'colored parchment' collection and found this, which is simple but striking. I haven't tried yet to dye parchment or perg to color, but I might have a go at it with some of the exemplaars that I have.

This is from the Akbarnama, a text from 1585. You'll notice a number of very different clothing styles here, indicating differing points of origin for the women in the painting. I am most fascinated with the woman in the green and purple, bending over offering a cup to the noble lady and the one in blue and red at the bottom possibly playing a drum.<br />

I love the embroidered breast band and belt in these photographs of a sculpture. I say embroidered, but it is more than possible that it would have been painted and then beaded on top of instead of embroidered. This appears to be three layers of belt with the beaded clasp portion on the top. The 'pretty' bit looks to only be in the front, as the back is flat and has no embellishments cut into the stone. The sculpture is dated to 1400, and is probably a diety. Though the sculpture itself is missing some of the decoration that would indicate a goddess (The shoulder panels and intricate headdress)<br />

Additional 19776 f. 72 Germany, Central (Coburg) 1390-1396. This text is written in hebrew. I had started this as a blank ages ago but I had never finished it. I didn't know what to do with it so it had never gotten finished. When I got asked if I had any scrolls for Jewish personas, I was thrilled to use this source. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The text is based on the song: Eishes Chayil which is traditionally sung by husbands to their wives on Shabbat.</span></span> </h1>
<br />
Far beyond pearls is her value, our soverigns trust in her and the Midrealm shall lack no fortune. Caryn of Cynnabar is her name. She opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tonuge. Her friends in Cynnabar do rise and celebrate her: Many daughters have attained valor but you have surpassed them all. False is Grace and vain is beauty and a G-d fearing woman she should be praised. So do we Akos and Bella Praise her. Give her the fruit of her hands and Arms upon her brow and let her be praised at the gates by her own deeds. <br />
<br />
(HEBREW) Blessed are You- G-d out L-rd King of the Universe for having made me according to His will. <br />
<br />
And thus is it written into the record that upon this our coronation day being the 29th day of September in the year of our Society 53 that we make unto Caryn of Cynnabar an Award of Arms. In witness thereof we do place the character of the Royal Name. <br />

When I heard that Heather Hall was going to be laureled for her cards and gaming expertise, I had to bite my tongue so as not to immediately volunteer to do her scroll. I had no idea if she'd had someone in mind for her scrollage, and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. When I asked her later on who she had doing her scroll and she said 'noone' I was like 'mine!' I'd had an idea from the beginning to make her a tarot card. I'd wanted to since I saw the first of the tarot cards at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library- and I'd downloaded each and every single one. They're so shiny! So I'd decided that I would make her a tarot card, since they remain some of the most recognizable cards of the time. I went through every available card in the Visconti Deck, Cary-Yale pack 1428-1447. I chose that deck because unlike other decks it features females in all the traditional roles beside the male card of the same role. Obviously it had to be an arcana card in this case- though I can find uses for many of the others- the coins suit seems particularly suited for awards. I ended up choosing the female knight of coins, because it had the most available space within its art to put text. I particularly loved the doves, and turned them into laurel wreaths as befits Heather.</div>

In the above picture- the gilding is only flat. I flatgilded it first and then dabbed on gesso overtop of it in order to make the raised areas, before applying my size to the raised areas and laying gold again. I found polishing it took the gold off my Gesso for some reason (possibly because it was so terribly humid when I was doing the gilding-no choice there) so I left it alone and didn't polish it. <br />

This source is a Welsh Grammatical text, and honestly my favorite part of this manuscript is not the whimsical little circles but the full alphabet in the text itself. It is housed in Oxford's Jesus College and is MS 15, pg 5. <br />
<br />
So the book didn't have an M capital, so I just turned the B on its side, and used that. I hadn't quite cleaned out my nib well enough even though I used a toothbrush...so the red isn't as vibrant as it aught to be, but I do kind of like the effect. <br />

Purple paper- Fabriano coldpress rag paper from Blick. It's nice enough- absorbs the gold a little more than I'd like but allows for some really nice watercolory washes that you can't do on other mediums.

Finding nothing I moved into artifacts and textile patterns, trying to find something that would be appropriate for a Pelicans scroll. It took me awhile before I found an image from the Met Museum of Art, called a Paiza.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: , "helveticaneue" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">A paiza was a tablet carried by Mongol officials and envoys to signify certain privileges and authority. They were usually made out of metal (or the exant pieces are) with a hole towards the top that could be used to bind it to a cord.</span><br />

<br />
It was a hefty project- goatskin parchment, 22k gold leaf, period pigments...the works. Now I didn't use all period pigments, because I don't have all the appropriate colors- but I found my gouache worked quite nicely in the spots where period wouldn't cut it.<br />

So I started with the layout, and I couldn't help but sketch the initial S. I practiced my text a few times to make sure it would fit in the space. I didn't have to edit much to make it fit. <br />

The scroll reads: Sing praise and let it be known throughout the vastness of the realm that we Reynard King of the Middle Kingdom, and Brynhildr our queen are well aware of the courtesy, chivalry, and skill both on and off the field of battle, of our friend Vaclav Semjaka. Henceforth he shall be in all places known as a member of the order of Chivalry. By this oath: "I here swear fealty and do homage to the Crown of the Middle Kingdom: To ever be a good knight and true, Reverent and generous,Shield of the weak, Obedient to my liege-lord,Foremost in battle,Courteous at all times,Champion of the right and the good." By this troth do we sign this 19th day of November AS 23. <br />

It's always a tremendous honor to be asked to do a peerage scroll for someone. I remarked a few months back that I had not yet done a Master of Defense scroll, and I thought that might be fun. The karmic universe being what it was, not a week later did Azriel ask if I might be convinced to do hers.<br />
<br />
I needed no real convincing, because scrolls are my zen. My art, my service and my pleasure to provide. I drew heavily from the Leitura Nova de Dom Manuel I. It's a brightly colored manuscript from 1504-1552 Spain. It was super whimsical, and perfect for the kind of scroll I was going to build for Azriel, with fantastic creatures, flowers and jewels.<br />

<br />

I readily agreed, having very much enjoyed the making of that scroll. Polish scrolls are fun, and provide much in the way of hidey-holes for personalization. Going back to the Catalogues of the Archbishops of Gniezow I searched the images for something more appropriate for my friend.<br />

I chose this image because of the scribal nature implied in the image, as well as the seemingly behind the scenes work shown here. There aren't crowds of people, just the 2. I thought it would translate well to the quiet nature that I have always seen in Wilhelm. This one also had some room to scribe, in a hand that was previously unknown to me. Those d's are just a delight to write. <br />

The basecoat 'my god this looks terrible without detailing' stage. Now, even with it taped to the board, I still had terrible problems with buckling. I am not sure why as I didn't use any more or less water than I normally do. Perhaps ambient humidity. <br />

Ah well. Here goes! <br />
I've been doing a lot of research into different scroll styles that I want to try. Basically what happens with that is my ADHD addled mind goes 'Squee it's so pretty' and I save the image to my external hard drive with the intent of giving it a try and then it just sits there.<br />
<br />
I needed an excuse to get some stuff done in a different style and I give you the Realms of the Orient. Japan and China.<br />

Daito Saiiki-ki. Heian Period, 12th century A record of priest Xuan-zhuang's trip to India. Given the shinyness of the original, I am speculating that the indigo paper was enameled afterwards, or burnished to a fine shine. Perhaps both, it's hard to say from here. I don't know much about the process. <br />

This effect was created by washes of Schminke gold gouache on the black paper. I would paint a line down and then with a wet brush pull the line into the black, to get the gradient effect. I really like how striking the colors are against the black paper. </div>

And the above the Jingoji Sutra, a 12th century Japanese idigo dyed paper with gold and silver ink masterpiece. This- with the help of Baron Foro became the Kings Chalice for Kitsune. If their Majesties Northshield read this entry; this man is a Jewel. He offered to translate any text we provide into Japanese, purely for the joy of doing so. Truly he made this offer to the entirety of the world's scribal community and it was my pleasure to take him up upon it. To my unending amazement, in less than a full day, he had rendered the entirety of my quite lengthy text into characters. I cannot commend him to you highly enough.<br />

For this one, I purchased Indigo Mulberry paper, a traditional type of paper, and did some experimentation. In order to get the gold and silver gouache to sit politely on the page, I had to first burnish the entirety of the page. It is a difficult but rewarding medium to work on, and the results quite speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
It is from these two pieces that the moniker of 'lotus scribe' has evolved. It is after all only appropriate to sign your work in this style.<br />

I got another assignment for Hildigunnr. Normally I would have fit a scroll to her persona, but I only do vikingy scrolls at VERY special occasions...So...This one as well doesn't fit her persona either. I don't think it bothers her. :D <br />

Among the scrolls I sent to Pennsic this year instead of myself. A Lindquistringes for Drachenwald. Based upon a page from the Borso D'Este Bible. I've only taken a few pages from this manuscript because it still intimidates me a little. I just need to do more so that I don't shy away from something that practicing can only improve my skills. <br />
<br />
It reads:<br />
Hic Incipit Edictum regis Torvaldi reginisque Tomoe. In recognition of the works that our dear subkect Dora Sumarlidadottir has rendered to us, especially to the Principality of Nordmark, we grant her admission to our Orden des Lindquistringes, which confers the right to display the insignia of the order as depicted below. Signed and sealed here at Pennsic War, upon this the 6th day of August A.S. 50.

I was given the PCS for Racaire. Now, Racaire I know by reputation alone, as does most of the known world because of her phenomenal emboridery and costuming pieces. <br />
<br />
I knew it had to be fancy, and different. So I chose a piece out of the Kleinodienbuch der Herzogin Anna von Bayern or for everyone else the
Jewel Book of the Duchess Anna of Bavaria. The manuscript is an
inventory of the jewelry owned by the duke and his wife, Duchess Anna, a
member of the Habsburg dynasty and a daughter of Emperor Ferdinand I.
It was commissioned in 1552 and I use it often.<br />
<br />
In order to make it interesting, I painted in several embroidery stitches around the edges of things andI cut the badge from the scroll. Then, in period fashion I stitched in the badge of the PCS. Something I'd never tried before.<br />

I'm improving my calligraphy, but it still makes me a little twitchy. I realize that I have come a long way from where I started- and am getting to the point where I can understand why calligraphers get all zen and zoned. In this post I would like to showcase some of the Calligraphers who have finished my blanks. They allow me to experience the joy of painting just for the sake of painting. <3<br />
<br />
These are just from the Midrealm, Drachenwald's calligraphers will get their own post when I track down the emails and facebook messages with the pictures in them. <br />
