I had two for Holiday Faire, but a third scroll of mine was handed out there. It was originally intended for Crown, but the recipient was unable to attend. A friend of mine was recognized for her skill and research in Roman clothing and jewelry with a Coral Branch (Award of Arms A&S award). Her device has not passed yet (hopefully soon) so when it does, I hope to make a companion piece to go with this one. A mutual friend of ours showed me an image that Aelia was intrigued with and I used it as the basis for the scroll. It is the sarcophagus cover from a Carthaginian lady. I used an 8x10" piece of perg with a two inch border. The paint I used was gouache. In progress pics below. The first of the two for Holiday Faire I was asked to do was an Augmentation of Arms for another friend. The Gilded Portcullis. I picked the Harley 1498 - Quadripartite Indenture for Henry VII's Chapel, which I have used previously, I used a 5x7" piece of perg with 1 1/2" border. fish glue, the pink acrylic size that Baroness Aine makes, 23k gold leaf, and gouache. In progress pics below. The pencil and brush are for scale. The third scroll was an AoA for the husband of one of my friends (She received hers too, another scribe, Sara, did hers to match). I picked Catherine of Cleves, based on his device. The scroll was done on an 8x10" piece of perg with a 2 - 2 1/2" border around. I used gouache and 23k gold leaf on the homemade gesso. Below, in progress and closeups. Pencil for scale
