His Grace, Cuan, and Her Excellency, Signy, gave out a lot of Fountains for the scribes during their reign. We decided to trade scrolls and I traded with Master Tristan Alexander. He gave me some things he would like in his, and I showed him some pages that met the criteria. The page that won was the Durazzo Hours! The exemplar was a purplish parchment with shell gold ink and period pigments. Done sometime in the late 1400's. I dyed the parchment a burgundy red myself and used modern gouache and finetec gold for the pigments and lettering. I am still learning how to do people, especially puti. I replaced the skull cup with a fountain (yes, I know I need to work on the perspective on that.. )
