Forgive me, friends, as I have been horrid at keeping my scribal works properly documented here. But, now that I have a tiny bit of time, I'd like to talk about the work I did for my friend Jon's Laurel scroll. When Jon was announced at Queen's Prize, I immediately went to Rochwen (his sponsor) … Continue reading Jon Chesey’s Laurel Illumination

Getting Started: Pigments
When I wrote my Powerful Powders handout in 2023, there was a wealth of pigment sellers and colourmen that existed that due to changes to global trade that now no longer exists or I have discovered additional vendors. Of note, I have not vetted all of these vendors, but I can at least give a … Continue reading Getting Started: Pigments
Calontir Kingdom Arts & Sciences
Over the weekend, I had the joy of being able to finally present the work I did in Roman Rainbows. Calontir holds two major arts and sciences competitions per year: Queen's Prize, the novice-level competition (I had the great joy to sponsor two amazing scribes; one who won the Populace Choice and got her Calon … Continue reading Calontir Kingdom Arts & Sciences
Updates
The last few months have been kind of insane in the best possible way. In addition to Kris Kinder and Birka, my modern life has led me to programming at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to talk about my knowledge with pigments at a program called Color Code: The Making and Meaning of Color. I'll … Continue reading Updates
Roman Rainbows
Goodness, it's been a minute. My husband and I with our adorable new house! In my defense, I've had a lot of stuff happen in my modern life, and I still owe a couple of posts on the last three scrolls I've done. But also, with finding a job, buying a house, moving, and a … Continue reading Roman Rainbows
Two Scrolls for Thomas De Marr’
I like being a bit of a free-range scribe. Last year, I completed three scrolls (Marguerite's Laurel, Ryan's Golden Mantle, and a scroll blank for TRM Calontir that I didn't blog about, but also, just know it's a Mira and I did it fully at the event using almost all handmade paints and iron gall … Continue reading Two Scrolls for Thomas De Marr’
Laurel Scroll for Marguerite Honoree d’Cheneau
I've been kind of slow on taking major SCA projects right now. After merchanting at Birka, I definitely needed the rest, and honestly, as I'm wedding planning for my nuptials in October of this year, I don't really have a lot of time for SCA projects. Though, sometimes, an opportunity presents that's too good to … Continue reading Laurel Scroll for Marguerite Honoree d’Cheneau
Compounding Colours: Purples
The last few weeks post-Birka (which, yes, has been a blur) have been spent going through everything. It was a great trip! I got to see people I haven't seen in years, made some new friends, and got to take home some excellent swag. All the swag! Check out the beads from Heart of Oak … Continue reading Compounding Colours: Purples
Grimwulf’s Cross
I got a scroll commission from our Royal Scribe to do a scroll for my friend Grimwulf, whose service towards creating hundreds of digitized award badges for the Knowne World was the impetus for his Calon Cross (GoA-service, Calontir). When I start off doing scribal work, I start by researching their persona, along with items … Continue reading Grimwulf’s Cross
Brian’s Calon Cross
Generally, I try to post about a scroll when it gets presented, but attacks of life happen. This was one such scroll. Back in July, I got asked if I could do a scroll for a friend (one of many that went out during the last reign), and I said that I could. With Brian's … Continue reading Brian’s Calon Cross
