13th Century and onward script used in England
This was one of those scrolls that just kind of fell into my lap. Audry”s student, Octavia had worked on the illumination and Audrye ran short on time to do the calligraphy, so she asked me to help out. The words were zen scrolled during the recording of court. Zen Scroll: scroll text that is […]
Took on this assignment and was at a loss for what to do for illumination. I”d did some searching through the EK Wiki and browsed through her husband”s blog but had a really hard time coming up with ideas. So I set upon creating the words to see if that would give me some inspiration, […]
And there I was, sitting in the Sanctuary, practicing some calligraphy when I hear “Faolán! Drop what you”re doing and grab your kit!” another Event Expedient Scroll was about to become a thing. Our Queen had struck again, this time with three new companions to the Order of the Tyger”s Eye, given to the teens […]
This was a fun one. Originally we had not planned to go to the Barony Beyond the Mountain / Bergental Yule. A friend was getting elevated to the Order of the Pelican, but we didn”t think we could swing the logistics of it. Our friend, Jen, offered up her family to dog-sit Ivy, in exchange […]

So this past Saturday was the 100 Minutes War in North New Jersey. I dropped off a scroll at East Kingdom Royal (EKR) and noticed the clerk looking worried. Come to find out that there may have been some miscommunication on a scroll assignment due that day. I let her know, if she needs any […]
For this years War of the Roses (Go York!) I had the pleasure of working with Lady Elisabeth Greenleaf. Elisabeth did a “woodcut” style from 16th Century England. I chose to accompany it with Littera Bastarda (Bastard Secretary), 13th Century and onward. Elisabeth was able to get words to me with measurements of my working area […]
Mostly freehand work. Needed to do a quick sign to let people know the parking situation for our party. I used baselines and eyeballed the rest based on the nib width of the pen. It’s “sloppy work” but I’m pretty happy with my uprights and most of the letter forms/heights given the amount of room […]
