A writ for the ladies of House Green: a gift for the ladies of House Green, so they can continue their good works with my patronage
An indenture for Genevieve and Sela: the indenture for the pursuivant of my house, Lady Sela de la Rosa
Popular company of sojourners for Marie de Monte: on parchment, with oak gall ink, with a customised ornament for the recipient
Award of arms for James Waltham: on parchment, with my own oak gall ink. Very satisfying piece, small but perfectly formed.
Silver Guard for Alexandre d'Avignon: on parchment, wording and calligraphy by me, abbreviations and short forms by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badgersandjam.
This is probably the piece I'm happiest with of late: the wording was right, the calligraphy worked, and the format of ruthlessly abbreviated early modern English text suited the recipient handsomely. It's about as far from a 'vine and bar' format SCA scroll as you can imagine, which is part of the fun.
Dragon's Pride, Alexandra of Gotvik: illumination bybadgersandjam text and calligraphy by me, for Double Wars court.

Finished Viscounty writ - the first one was a promissory note - for Sir Nasr' ibn 'Isa abu Haroun
Panache for Sorcha bean mhic Dhomhnaill, for Leif and Morrigan final court. Early Carolingian style w/ 3 types of gold. Annoyingly not yet in public domain b/c recipient hasn't seen it yet, so I'm holding off til it's presented to her.
Viscounty writ for Sir Nasr ibn 'Isa abu Haroun, final court of their highnesses Allessandre Melusine and Elffin: Arabic scroll, Arabic text by Sir Garick von Kopke. Hoping to turn the finished work into A&S entry, and discussion of 'how a non-Arabic-speaker does an Arabic scroll' into a paper.
Indenture writ for Aodh and me: stupidly, no pictures of the whole item. I despair even of myself. Pictures of my half: whole item, left half, right half.
A blog post about the indenture, written up as documentation for local A&S display.

In June at 20 year celebration, I took part in an impromptu class about quill cutting with Mistress Caitlin, who fixed my worst mistakes. I'm resolved to use quills from now on, save the needs of onsite scribing (something I generally avoid).
In August I once more took up the role of principality signet.
