Hi all. Just checking in. I will be back to working on my web pages in a few weeks.
I have been very busy this winter working on art projects for 12th night, and my duties as Lincoln Signet.
Among my goals for 2009 are:
Finish the Exultet roll.
Do a fabulous job on a comissioned Elizabethan laurel scroll.
Get back to basics in the technical aspects of C&I
Explore more styles by creating more blanks.
Sew new garb for Mark in more period fabrics.
Get that Elizabethan ensenble going!
More garb for me in more period fabrics.
Finish the Astronomia Gown.
Travel more, but will be harder with less vacation this year.
Finish all the undone house projects.
Do more gardening.
Grow hops.
Throw more parties.
Stick to an exercise and diet plan.
Read more fiction.
Laugh, Love, and Live Life More!

AOA scroll January 19, 2008
I was in the mood to try something different so I was pleased to get this assignment for an Eastern Eurooean persona. I know the translation is not accurate or period, but I had fun doing it and think it looks snazzy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Bulgarian
I used the above source a starting point for my "translation". I took liberties with what shape of letters I wanted to use, and what letters I thought were matching the phonetics or pronunciation. Wherever possible, I looked at the period text to copy letter shape.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_numbers I used for the date numbers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraevangelia_of_Ivan_Alexander At Pennsic, I bought a book copy of this. The K is pulled from the Mss, and I drew the lady in a style similar to the royal family portraits.
