Every time I do a new original scroll, I choose at least one thing new to try. With this scroll, I ended up with five new things: first time working with Pergamenata, first time doing "bar and ivy" style, first time adding a portrait to a historiated capital initial, first time including musical notation, and first time doing linework decoration around minor capitals...

today's gratitude - I love that the internet allows for detailed research examining historical documents and books, including things like missals and books of hours, which I find endlessly fascinating and a great source of inspiration. I also love the generosity of the many institutions that have places parts of their collections available to the public at large!
Oh my, Alison! What a treasure you have created for Stephen. I would love to see his face when he receives it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your enthusiastic commendation! I too wish that I could be there to see when the scroll finally arrives... I miss that part so much, with the isolation. But I do get a great deal of enjoyment out of the process of creating these
DeleteThat is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Fantastic!
