From the MK-Scribes list:

Her Majesty has requested that scroll blanks for:
Red Company
Gold Mace
Cavendish Knot
Bronze Ring
Dragon's Barb
Greenwood Company
be available throughout the reign for last minute awards.

 

FYI if you are working on scroll blanks this summer.

 

Calligraphy

 

  • The Golden Section  - To explain, the Golden Section is the area where Caligraphy should begin in a medieval manuscript. It's believed that a 1.618 ratio is the most attractive ratio to the human eye, and using this ratio, calligraphers in the past separated the manuscript pages using the formula outlined at this website. It's not as difficult as it looks, and it will give your illumination a very period look if you should use this process. Remember that it will show you where the calligraphy goes.... not the illumination.
