Grant of Arms detail

…and last but not least a “Grant of Arms” scroll for the Kingdom of Meridies – another SCA award…

I saw a really nice “period” picture and wanted to use it somehow and a Grant of Arms seemed like the right type of scroll… Yeah, I was really in the mood for a lot of “pen work” and had a lot of fun working at this scroll :)

I hope the recipient who gets or already got this Grant of Arms will like it as much as I do… :)

Grant of Arms

 

…and now, after I posted all the scrolls, my scriptorium is again as “up to date” as possible… 46 scrolls so far… heading towards 50… *bounce* …and now back to add more embroidery to my green wool dress :D

I am sorry but I don’t have a nice picture of the third Order of the Bough scroll I made – I made this scroll at an event and forgot to take at least one picture of it…

AoA

During my stay in the Kingdom of Meridies my lovely sister Noel organized some scribal stuff for me because I unfortunately didn’t bring any nibs, ink,… with me but I really wanted to work at some scrolls and practise my “Batarde” hand :)

Noel was so nice to bring me some of her own stuff – including paper, nibs, ink,… – I was so glad and immediately started working at my first scroll for the Kingdom of Meridies which you can see at the picture – scroll #34 which you can also see below as well as some other AoA scrolls I made (well, not at the same day ;) ) – many thanks to my awesome sister Noel!!! Thank you sweety! :*

AoA scroll – last scroll for Drachenwald – scroll #33

AoAWell, this is the last scroll for the Kingdom of Drachenwald because I will soon move to the Kingdom of Meridies – no, I won’t stop with calligraphy and yay, I am still a member of the SCA *lol* – and therefore the next scrolls I will make will be for Meridies…

…but I agreed to make a last scroll when my friend Izabella asked me… so here it is – my last scroll for Drachenwald… I think this is a nice way to say good bye :)

…actually I made this scroll this week but because it is the last scroll I made for Drachenwald I give this scroll the number 33, before I start posting the scrolls which I already made for the Kingdom of Meridies… :)

 

Siobhans Order of the Rose/County/Grant of Arms scroll – scroll #32 :)

Siobhans Order of the Rose:County:Grant of Arms scrollToday I recognized that I haven’t posted any of my scrolls here for quite a while now and because I was already working at my blog, I decided to alter this and to upload all scrolls – well, at least the ones of which I still have pics at my acer tablet or which I posted to my facebook fanpage - btw. here my folder at facebook.

Needless to say that I somehow lost track of how many scrolls I made till now so I just continue with the last number +1, therefore this scroll gets the number 32 :)

….soooooo, here a pic of the scroll for Siobhan – it combines an “Order of the Rose”, “County” and “Grant of Arms”. Sorry for the rather bad picture but I finished it shortly before I packed for Double Wars last year… didn’t think of taking a better picture… I am just glad that the whole text did fit on this page of pergamenata… *lol*

my new green 12th century “pull-over” dress – basic handsewing done :)

dataYeah, I decided to go with a dress without lacing because it always takes soooooo long to get in and out of my dresses and I really think this won’t be the last “pull-over” dress I make…
I think you can blame my sweetheart for this – I enjoyed wearing his tunic (without any lacing!!!! wooohoooo *bounce*) at one of the events in Meridies so much that I made the decision that I need some “pull-over” dresses… dresses you can just pull over your head and … oh my… you are dressed… what an awesome and breathtaking idea ;)
…you see I am just excited about this very comfy addition to my wardrobe – though I can’t promise that I won’t steal a tunic from my sweetheart from time to time in the future :D

…ok, back to this dress – can you imagine that I got this lovely fabric at IKEA? *lol* Yeah! this here are about 2 “DAGNY” blankets – my friend Anna discovered them at Ikea and told me about them – they sold it via the Ikea family card program for a really cool price and I got me 4 of them… well, yeah, first I was like “really? from Ikea? …and 55% viscose / 45% wool blend?” – I am normally not a fan of wool blends but I recently got some really nice ones and started rethinking my aversion… and I just can say that the fabric just felt nice and looked really good and yeah, I somehow fell in love with it :D

I decided to go with maunches again – I only took one whole length of the blanket to make the maunches from it using my sisters Bella technique for it (you sew both ends together and create a fabric “tube” and cut your maunches out of it – absolutely the best way with little to no loss I run into till now – my sister Bella is my 12th century goddess! :) ) …therefore they are a little bit shorter than I usually like them but I think they look really nice though…
…and yeah, again completely hand-sewn – what else? …during the last year I somehow got the impression that hand sewing is already something some of you assume when it comes to my dresses… I am fine with it… and I really enjoy handsewing – well, most of the time – not always but most of the time ;)

….btw. I uploaded some of the progress pictures to my facebook fanpage and created a new folder to collect all pictures I uploaded till now for this project: green 12th century dress with maunches :)
