Greetings, I am Tegan Conwy of the Shire of Mountains Edge in the Kingdom of An Tir. I have been doing things scribal for about 6 years, maybe a year or two...
First, Tegan welcome to the list! I think that a set of French curves is a necessity. I use mine almost as often as the ruler. They are right up there with the...
Thanks! I don't know that I have mastered the use of anything. I probably don't even really *know* how the curves are supposed to be used, just that I use them...
Tegan: Using an Ames guide is not difficult, although, I prefer the Linex Liner to the Ames (it has smaller holes and a better selection of settings). First...
Greetings all I had a couple of folks write to me and ask for more information about making and using glair, so I'm posting here to answer their questions all...
As a beginning illuminator (calligraphy has been more of my focus) I must say that I am slightly overwhelmed by some of these extensive lists and am glad that...

The fabric stores are pretty much open from 10-6, 7 days a week. If we do the class in the morning, we should have an afternoon free to visit them if we...
Actually, Yvianne, I normally make glair from regular supermarket eggs and as long as you keep it clean the smell never gets outrageous. The batch I'm using...
Dear Hrefna/Susan, Consider this a waxing lyrical about your work. I've added your name to the list of scribes I hope to be as good as one day :-). Hi - my...
Try the book- Jewish Art - Grace Cohen Grossman ISBN 0-88363-361-2 It has a number of examples of Ketubbah plus a lot of other Jewish art. Hope this helps ...
... sister on the list! Yeah! As far as the "Bigger is better" thing... I feel somewhat at fault there, since I do larger works. But please remember, the...
Tetchubah I've also had good results from store bought eggs. There is a smell, but it quickly dissipates. It's just surprising to me that free range chicken...
Megan, Wow! Thank you for the kind words. Particularly useful tools are a pencil, eraser, and a ruler. I really didn't use any other tools for this page. Yes,...
I really don't know why gum arabic gradually replaced glair in a lot of usage, Yvianne. Maybe, as you postulate, it was a market driven thing altho I never...
<cough> <cough> I will take any size shape and color ;) and be most happy and proud to find it a wonderful home ;) Grainne.. I gave out all of your scrolls but...
Could anyone from Atenveldt Scribes please send me an e-mail please.. I would like to know the days you meet and some contacts and some people that might...

Dear Motley, One of my shire members has given me some mineral pigments. Could you give me a mixing formula? I don't want to waste them by mixing them the...
Thanks for posting this! although I have been painting for many years, I am new to this period stuff. This is exactly the kind of information I am looking for....
Dear Susan, Thankyou so very much for your reply! :-) It is really very much appreciated. I'll read ahead, and see what the other scribes have said as well,...
