Surprisingly, only about an hour and twenty minutes to paint this background in. I’m very pleased with today’s progress!

The scroll I did for TehMuhGinn’s elevation to Laurel.

Tooled yak hide. Painted with leather paint. Real feathers and mink fur with beads and tassels of horse hair. Oak wood with burned in designs. Twice braided sinu cording to help hold it up. Wood beads to hold the leather together and to the wood.

Designed by myself. Guidance from others (some do not wish to be named :)) the text is old Mongolian text, but it is mostly a conversion of English to their letters of the alphabet.

Took about… 5 weeks of several hours a night, or whole days on the weekends.

Lots of fun, and he loves it, which is the most important part for me!

A good day’s session, considering my otherwise low energy level. This capital took about an hour to an hour and a half, to paint the various base colors, shade, highlight, and outline.

dragging myself, kicking and screaming, back into the SCA

Loosely inspired by the Black Hours from the Morgan Library (Bruges, ca. 1480). Started finding my light hand toward the end, but definitely not my best work 😅

Note to self - actually working on a table works best 👍

Gouache on black paper. Imma check if my metallic ink is still good and work in that and dip pen next time for the gold details. Metallic gouache is not where it's at for fine lines (great for other things, though).
