QoC

A scroll I made that went out as a Queens Order of Courtesy (QoC)

It was one of my first attempt at people and clothing. Unfortunately I lost the links to the original source when the NY Met Online Collection updated their website. I'll have to go searching and update with the source when I find it.

Adventures in White-Work

War of the Roses was this past weekend and I had a scroll go out. Unfortunately we were unable to make it but I saw a couple of pictures of the AoA recipient with the scroll I made for them and they looked happy with it. And I was told that my scroll was well received at the event. I don't have any pictures of them with it, and I didn't ask permission yet to use one of the ones other people took, so I can't show you that, but I can show you the actual scroll and the process leading up to the final piece.

For a while I've been admiring some of the beautiful white-work that I've seen around; some of it is so breathtakingly beautiful that I wanted to try my hand at it. And, this time, I decided to start small instead of diving head first into something that I had never tried.
