The Light of Saint Bunstable scroll is finished, save for the name of the recipient and the signatures of the Baron and Baroness. It's based on an image from a medieval bestiary. rivendellrose drew the rabbits, and I did the painting and calligraphy.





We'll award the Light of Saint Bunstable at the college's mini-event on campus Sunday.

Have you seen this? It's a document from the 96th Doge:

It belongs to tedeisenstein. I think this is the description:

'Tis event season, with a vengeance!

You offered advice on period scribal materials at some point-- could I take you up on that? I owe hanksan an AoA scroll . . .

I am thinking of basing the design on the second image here:

Beautiful! Wow your calligraphy's gotten good! And add it to the SCA-Illumination group on Flickr if you haven't already ;)

[ursula]

Unlike last year, I used the right size nib for my lines and everything ;) Glad you like it!

wow is that pretty calligraphy!
Love the curly capitals. And it's so readable!

[ursula]

Isn't this the greatest hand? I did sorta make up the capitals :)

[chemicallace]

Beautiful!

I just took a calligraphy class last weekend and now that I know how hard it is, your writing is terribly impressive.

[ursula]

Thank you!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! The painting and calligraphy on that came out really well!

[ursula]

I'm glad you think I did your drawing some kind of justice :)

Are you coming to the event Sunday?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

You did beautifully with it! All I did was eyeball the original and copy.

I'm going to try. Every time I promise I'm making it to a Bunstable event something seems to go wrong, so this time I'm shooting for cautious optimism and hoping to break my pattern. ;)

While at the officer's meeting this week we were discussing (in passing fancy actually) awards, and I came up with the "Cleft Lip" I've been laughing my butt off about it ever since. I doubt their soon to be excellencies intend on using that idea, but what do you think about if it would even pass.

[ursula]

Probably not, unless you can persuade Talan to stunt-doc something like Cleftlyppe as a placename. I think "Order of Lippe of the Cleftlands" might be doable (treating Lippe as a person's name), though.

Shiny! The bunnies look much happier than in the source image. And as already noted, the calligraphy is exquisite.

[ursula]

Thanks! Unlike the source bunnies, these aren't food :)

Wow! That's gorgeous work.

[ursula]

Thank you!

Wow!

[llamaontheloose.livejournal.com]

Ursula, that is stunningly gorgeous! I feel like I've gone on an Art Excursion, all without leaving my computer!

Re: Wow!

[ursula]

Whoa, thank you!

[aryanhwy.livejournal.com]

[ursula]
