Petra's AOA

Doing this scroll was AWESOME and the look on Petra's face when she got it was so worth it! She loves it and couldn't stop looking at it! Doing things like this totally make my day!



Sorcha and Petra with their AOAs.



This is a close up of Petra's scroll. I also have a close up of Sorcha's scroll somewhere. I have to dig it up and post it here too!



From this angle you can see the raised gilding.

Calligraphy and Illumination by me (Ding Li Ying)
Words by: Sir Lucius Aurelius Varus

This piece is also inspired by the Prayer Book of Michelino de Besozzo,
15th-century Italy

Materials:
Raised gilding with Permacoll and 23K patent gold
Windsor Newton gouche paint
Schminkie gold watercolor
Pelican ink
Brause 2mm nib

This was a new-ish hand for me...Rotunda. I have only used it once before...so I was a bit rusty.

Demi's QoC

Originally this scroll was suppose to be given out at 12th Night, but Demi was sick and couldn't make it to the event. Instead, she got it this past weekend at Birka.

Here is a picture of her when she got it...she was crying and didn't want her picture taken!

Calligraphy is by me (Ding Li Ying)
Illumination is by Lady Clodagh Saorla inghean Cinneide
Words by Sir Lucius Aurelius Varus
Glove by Lady Eilis of Eisental

I'm not sure of the materials that Clodagh used. For the calligraphy, I used Pelican ink, 1 3/4 mm Brause nib on Pergamenata (natural color in double weight).
