I have been waiting patiently to post again. I have a group of scrolls that just got finished, but I had to wait for them to be given out before I could post about them. The first 2 were both given out at Kingdom 12th night. The Grand master bowman on the left was a back-log scroll which should have origianally gone out a couple years ago. I was actually very lazy about this one. I was given the assignment months before I even started it. The second one on the right is a Sagitarius (the order of high merit for archery in the East Kingdom). These 2 were numbers 17 and 18 for the challenge.


Then 2 weeks later at Birka the AOA I made for Alys went out. this piece was #19. I am making a good dent in the 50 scrolls I want to get done. I however, am not too happy with some aspects of these latest scrolls. I just don't seem to be getting any better at the Gothic script. I especially enjoy the later period scrolls, so I really need to get better at it. Ygraine told me there were exercises I could use to make it better. I am going to have to get back to her about that. The other part is the shading. Sometimes it works very well, and other time not so much. I would like to get a little more consistent with it, but I think that is a case of more practice.

I have also gotten a couple more piece of lace finished. There is only one more piece to finish the table runner now. It has now gotten long enough that I have to either hang it on a door, or clean off my project table to get a picture of it. you will notice it is on the door. I am beginning to look forward to finishing this project. I have so many other things in mind that I want to make.
