I broke my rule.
I took on a new assignment without finishing the backlog I said I’d finish first.
But in my defense…. I have no defense. It’s pretty? Read more about this piece after the break.
My First Meridian Scroll

New Things
I’ve added a few new things on the site in the last few days.
Thing the First: The Tang Dynasty page in the Epic Timey-Wimey Garb Project has been updated with my research.
Thing the Second: I’ve also added Construction notes for Tang Dynasty garments. Right now this is very female-centric.
Thing the Third: I started configuring an archive of scribal stuff (awards, etc.), and I finally launched it today. It’s by no means complete – there are some descriptions missing, and I haven’t loaded in all the images yet. But it didn’t make sense to keep sitting on it. It’s the Scribal Archive link in the main navigation menu. This is basically an image gallery with descriptions of items I’ve made while doing this crazy scribal thing. As I continue to add to it to keep it updated, I hope to add more specific information about materials, etc.
Mistress Kudrun Pilegrim’s Laurel Scroll
This summer, my favorite collaboration partner and I worked together on Mistress Kudrun Pilegrim’s Laurel scroll for her elevation at the 7th Known World Cooks and Bards Collegium in Jararvellir. It’s based on the Murthly Hours (c. 1280, Paris), f. 87r, 67v, and 43v.
Kat is responsible for the text and calligraphy, and I did the layout and illumination. The video shows it MOST of the way done – it didn’t get finished-finished until we were on site.
More about the text after the break. It’s really cool text!
