Another Christmas present, this one for my Knight, Duke Logan Ebonwoulfe. One of the scrolls I really admired in his living room was done by a Laurel I really admire, the County for Her Grace Esa Kirkpatricke. The idea was to study her work, and make a scroll that would sit alongside it, but tailored to His Grace.
I believe I still have a long way to go to reach the level the Laurel was at when she did the original, but it was a wonderfully fulfilling challenge to see how well I could mimic her work. (And he was really surprised, I think, when I gave it to him.) I kept her original concept, took out one of the style designs intended for Her Grace, then altered the colors to reflect the Ebonwoulfe colors. To achieve this, I used 24k gold leaf with an acrylic gesso, modern gouache, finetec gold, and Higgins ink on pergamenta. Below are in progress and close-up shots.
