The second award scroll I was asked to do was for a lady I greatly admire, Baroness Tatiana. She has given tirelessly and selflessly, including many wonderful scroll cases that I have been privileged to use. I wanted to tailor something to her. Information on the exemplar: Hohannes (Artist) 17th century ink and pigments on well finished parchment of medium weight bound between wooden boards lined with blue silk damask covered with dark brown leather decorated gold and silk Overall H: 5 7/8 x W: 4 1/8 in. (15 x 10.5 cm); Folio H: 5 7/8 × W: 4 1/16 in. (15 × 10.3 cm) I placed it on an 8x10" piece of pergamenta with roughly 1/2" for borders for matting and framing. I transliterated the English into Cyrillic as I had trouble finding what I thought was a reliable translation into Russian. I used Higgins ink with three different widths of nib, and gouache. The shell gold was an artificial gold shell from Kremer's. Below, find the in progress and some close up shots. (Clicking on the picture will show you the whole picture.)
