To be productive...hmmm

Friday was a trying day at work that would have been better spent in bed. I came home after picking up scrips and had a guiness and curled up on the couch for 2 hours of napping and watching sherlock holmes. After that I was able to get things going on the painting front. All of the scrolls painting is finished. Then after getting fabric/instructions to Mistress Alexandria Ivan and I had a date at Texas Road house. Good food..good beer and full tummies. After that mel did some embroidery on his barbarian tunic and I got the spacing down for the first scroll text. I also played around with Battard calligraphy for Steffan's promissary. Today I got up and went to get the oil changed in the truck which resulted in me getting the water pump replaced and the fuel system completely flushed. Yeah, there goes the spending money. I got home 3 hours later than planned and started in on calligraphy. I got the first scroll done and am now perplexed with the placing the same text on the next scroll...its larger in area for space and I'm stuck. Plus the last Metheglin scroll should be in italic and I can't do italic yet. Hmmm. I will prevail. I want to finish the last two mead scrolls and then get the spacing graphed out for stefan's. scribe_ari any ideas?

So, I got to work on the pink coat while waiting for the truck so at least it wasn't a total waste of time.

Yes, I am a SCRIBE!!!

So, until today I've been kinda feeling lacking in the calligraphy department. I had only done about 3 peices of calligraphy in the last year. Admittedly 2 of which were on peerage scrolls (deille's laurel and sirphelan's county) but I was feeling that I didn't have the ability to do it right. Druisillus was right my spacing was crap....not any more. I finally got a spacing line between the text and it worked wonderfully...this was after the first scroll though but eh. So the second was my favorite until I got on the phone with scribe_ari and she talked me through the spacing for a Chauncery bastard. Wow!!! In two attempts I got the spacing right. I just finished what I think is the best callig'd scroll I have ever done. Woot! I'll take pictures later.

Now on to Steffan's scroll which I am very confident I can get spaced out tonight. As long as I don't drink too much beer and I take my contacts out...they are kinda gunky right now.

Oh, so the list:
