Greetings, all!<br><br>I just wanted to post a little update of stationer like things happening up in the Barony of Ruantallan.<br><br>Donal aka Wart (aka Mike), who now lives in Ynys Y Gawed (PEI) did a lovely book as a prize for the A&S competition held at the Northern Shores Fencing Tournament this spring. I told him I personally love it when people make the effort to make period prizes that are small and memorable rather than "yet another pair of generic candle holders".
<br><br>We now have about 4 to 6 scribes actively doing scrolls for the Canton of Seashire, Barony of Ruantallan and Kingdom on a regular basis. Margaret, Gavlinne, Elena, Isa, Adele, Silieas and myself do scrolls. With the exception of Isa, all of us do both calligraphy and illumination.
<br><br>This summer we are holding a War Camp which will be an RP and Investiture. Most of us have at least 2 scrolls to do for this event (at the end of June). I'll be working on, likely, a new "squashed bug scroll." I recently did a rune scroll which I researched quite a bit and found the hand far more challenging that I expected.
<br><br>It's tougher to do scrolls for summer RPs for us, particularly when we had a brutally long, cold winter this year. We all want to be running out in our gardens ; ) (and shooting and fighting melees).<br><br>Mutterings. Okay loud ideas mentioned by Varenko and others are talking of making a group project of building a small press.
<br><br>Some other ideas planned for the fall include some paper based projects. I keep voting for the press! <br><br>Other than that, we all wish we had more time for projects.<br><br>Ta<br><br>Elise<br><br><br><br><br><br>
