First let me say thank you to everyone who created a scroll for Birka. I know that all the people who got scrolls where very very happy. However, I do need to...
Thanks for the heads up Michel..i know ive goofed before and left something out. A mini check list is what i keep near me when doing the text to make sure that...
Greetings to the Scribes of the East Kingdom!! On November 1st, the Shire of Nordenhal in Kingston, NY will be hosting a day of scribal classes or as they are...
... I was afraid that was going to happen. I have a difficult time following discussions on web-based chat lists, especially on that web page, where it's black...
... Not so, necessarily. I'm also not on the web for much the same reasons. I'm happy to chat here, if someone has something to say. I would appreciate it if...
The goal was never to stop this site. Avelina did an amazing thing in starting this for the scribes and I certainly hope it continues. I think that as time...
I must agree with Lyle and Nataliia. I hope we don't see this list vanish in favour of the web-based chat. E-Mail access I have, but I can't access web sites...
My problem is that the computer I use for email is sooooo old and slow that accessing web sites is an issue. I can switch over to my son's computer (that's...

Hey Guys I am looking for a websource of German manuscripts. Can anybody help this poor Laurel? Also I need a Ducal wording for the scroll. I ain't exactly ...
Just a curiosity question: How many people on this list block out the illumination and then do the calligraphy, before actually painting the scroll? If more...

... That's just how I do it -- I block out my margins, maybe sketch in a few rough blocks where major illuminations, versals, etc. will go, and then do the...
... Because my caligraphy is.....um......limited, yes, I do the calligraphy first, then do the illumination. Order is - pencil sketch of illumination, lines...
I block out the space the planned illuminated area will need then do the calligraphy. Once the calligraphy is completed I start sketching the illumination. ...
... Ah, that one I can answer. Pencil sketch the illumination, lines for calligraphy, _gild_, calligraphy, then illumination. I've even seen some examples of...
Here's how I generally do it: 1) Measure and mark area for calligraphy in pencil 2) Do calligraphy 3) Put a piece of tracing paper over all, and design...
... When you say that you ink design - what do you mean? Is that the outlining in black? Do the outline, then paint to the outline? Or something different? ...
I usually work out the full design on tracing paper first (erases well and I can save it after for later use and alteration for other projects) then block in...
... My very clever apprentice (who doesn't like to calligraph last) has taught me to cover the calligraphy with a piece of Frisket film - then when I gild or...
