This is the first year I really began producing scrolls. My husband and I also started hosting scribe nights.
I have worked with paint before, and I've done a fair amount of graphic design on computers. The paint I used previously was regular watercolor, and I found that thankfully gouache suits me better!
I've listed the 2012 batch of scrolls below. They're in the order I created them, I think. Click on the images to see larger versions, and click on the names of the scrolls for more detail about them and in-progress images.
Notre Dame 65
This is my first completed scroll blank! I took it to Drums of War V.

Plimpton 252
Page from the Polychronicon. I think this became an Order of the Sacred Stone scroll. I particularly love this design, and I can easily see myself re-creating it again.

Lewis E 181
This one was an award for the Squire's Tourney at WoWVII. The general outline came from the Lewis E 181 manuscript, and I added the knights & squires belt. I chose this particular manuscript's design for the squires because it is less floral and more geometric.

Custom Phoenix Eye
I made this one from scratch (with the exception of the Phoenix Eye emblem - I traced that!) for a friend who is a brilliant knitter and has two cats. ^_^

Black Hours for Rome Use
This one was a challenge, but I think it turned out well. My sweet husband did the calligraphy. It was awarded to the victor of the Torchlight Tourney at WoW VII.
