| This is my second official scroll for the East Kingdom (awarded 6/21/03) and my first collaboration. I completed the illumination - the calligraphy is by Baroness Michel Almond de Champagne, Mistress of the Laurel. The scroll is based on a folio from The Hours of Catherine of Cleves. It is done on Arches paper with Winsor & Newton gouache. I just love this scroll. I did eliminate the cross on the middle right and replace it with the Northern Army banner, but otherwise stayed true to the original border. |
The red and gold gouache are done.
I was scared to move on from here.
The side pieces are done.
