https://curiouslygeeky.com/2016/11/08/a-new-plan-on-my-scribal-education
Painted wings and giant rings. Adventures in creating and exploration. A new plan on my scribal education –. I’ve been trying very hard to try something new each time I have a new assignment, which is great and keeps me excited, however it makes it difficult to get progressively better at one thing. So my current plan is to work from a single time period/location for a awhile, see if I can make noticeable progress in a particular segment of the scribal field. I did not go to the event to see it given out...

Painted wings and giant rings. Adventures in creating and exploration. A sister scroll to the last gothic one. For this scroll I used folio 13 reverso (the back side of page 13) :. I chose this particular page as the person the scroll was for is a thirteenth century harper, and King David and his harp leaped to mind, plus I love this page. Here’s my version, a bit simplified:. My spacing and vertical lines look much better. They still need work, but way better than last time. I kinda want to animate my l...

Painted wings and giant rings. Adventures in creating and exploration. Fun little AoA based on an 1100s manuscript. This AoA was for Kathryn Tighe’s son, Clark wrote the words. This is my first live scroll assignment. The source is here:. Http:/ gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8530185k/f11.item. I am most proud that I managed to not have to do the scroll twice as I didn’t screw it up. My goals are small. Only having to do the scroll once is a big deal 🙂. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

I emailed back and forth with Mistress Briony to get s...
