[Artemisia] Scroll Discussion

[biancaraven at aol.com]

Im my opinion, and as the recipient of a photocopied and felt-tip 
marker scroll, I appreciate the recognition of the movement which has 
already occurred: the Artists of Artemisia are using more authentic and 
medieval styles and media (and not just in scribal arts).

What has not been defined is how long have those scrolls been in the 
scroll case?  Ten years?  Twenty?

There are artists in our Kingdom that use alternate media for scrolls - 
such as Tryggvar's Hersir Shield , Thorvald's Founding Stone, Ralph's 
Bayeux-style "life story" tapestry, Sati's Queens Champion silk banner 
or Duke Timmur and Duchess Tianna's tooled leather Mongolian wall 
hangings, to name a few.  It is my opinion that if the artist is 
inspired to do something unique and special for the recipient, that the 
Crown should be consulted first.  Generally, if the artist's project is 
true to the authenticity of the recipient's persona, the "go ahead" 
will most likely be given.
