I have my first ever assignment! Woohoo! Ok, I’m being silly but still I am excited.
A large and lovely piece of vellum has been entrusted to my care for this project too. I am thinking of doing something like this from the Burnet Psalter. Oh, and I have the text too! If all goes smoothly I may do gold leaf, we’ll see.
So, I gotta start practicing my book gothic (I think that’s it anyway) and see how tiny a space I can fit it all in. I always have so much trouble with that. Someday I hope to be good enough that I just *know* how much space I need. LOL!
I think that’s all the details I can give about it. If I post progress shots, I’ll have to remember to blur out the who and what.
The nice thing about Calontir scrolls, there doesn’t have to be two huge seals on the bottom taking up the last 3 inches of space! Calontir hangs their (smaller) seal from an inkle loomed cord at the bottom of the scroll. Of course, that additional space seems to be needed for longer text award text.
