Bona Fide Originals...
So, life isn't all charters all the time, for all that I enjoy them as a creative exercise, and I LOVE seeing how others approach my designs (totally gratifying, tbh).
Sometimes, I do original scrolls - don't fall over from shock. I'm still trying to track down a few more photos, but here's what I have to hand.
The Potissimus Hippocampus and Lion of An Tir have been previously documented, but here are some others. Some with original inspiration and process, even. Because I have one. Sometimes.
Albrecht von Rugen - Viscounty
Gouache, gilding, and ink on paper
I love this manuscript, and I love how this scroll turned out. I'm pretty sure the gold leaf is composite, and marks the only time I've done it - I need to explore that a bit more. German text. This was one of my entries into an A&S competition - I honestly don't remember if it was Kingdom or Principality, but I got good marks on it.
Loegaire mac Lochlainn - Court Barony
Gouache and ink on...pergamentata? I don't even remember.
Dozens of inspiration images, one terrible photo of the original sketch. I somehow managed to not get a picture of the rest of the process or the finished product, which is a shame, because it turned out pretty well, I think.
Gabrielle Lepinay - Court Barony
Gouache and ink on pergamentata.
The recipient loves rabbits, and was stepping down after serving as Baroness of Wyewood. The shields are simple variations of Wyewood's arms, the kingdom checky, and her personal device.
Duncan Tuddio - Cheval et du Lion
Gouache and ink on paper - awarded after a successful year as Equestrian Champion. Last-minute request.
Alicia du Bois - Sable Scrivener
Gouache and ink on pergamentata
It's always a joy to do a scroll for a friend.
Armand de Castille - Lion's Rapier
Ink on pergamentata - awarded after a successful year as Queen's Champion of Rapier
Elisabeth de Rossignol - Indenture
Ink on pergamentata - cut in half and presented upon the occasion of my apprenticing
