Woot! good Tuesday!

Well, work was rather, blah and my hardware I thought I was getting next week got hit by a 2 week plant shut down back east...sighs....oh well. Got done and headed out to home to bike. yup, you read that right I got my fat arse(though less fat than it used to be) back on the saddle. Our new pump I picked up is a bit odd...I'm not liking the lack of wide feet to brace on when using it...especially in cleats. Got things going and hit mapmyride app on my phone and headed out. I did a modified version of the standard around the block due to the construction on Wilmot. It was good but it was hot and since my bike comp is not working I didn't know how I was doing until I was done. I averaged 13.8 mph over the 6.30 miles. Not bad, not great but not bad for not being on the bike in about 5 or so months. So, I was happy with that. Got in and was hot..I got more water and then dinner. I'm out of my normal protein powder (need to reorder) so I ate pretty quickly after getting done. Then I relaxed in front of the tv for a while before I got the scribal stuff out.

I did manage to get both of the small drolleries done and got the first miniature base shaded. I should be able to go in and do a bit more detail work tomorrow (tonight is knit night). I did manage to catch the new episode of Warehouse 13 and really enjoyed it. We got a new villain (HG Wells, tee hee) and things are fun as always. I then turned on the Tour to watch things but got tired before the main crashes that I read about in the news. I did a few more inches of weaving while watching the tour and that was good as well. I'm pretty confident that I can finish the scroll by the weekend or at least be uber close. That is a great relief to me since I've been stressing about the deadline. I've been working on the documentation so I will work on that this weekend as well and the clothes for Tristan. Need to chat with the Ari about the fit check travel plans...but I'm in a much better place with the projects than I was last week so all good. Still lots to do but I can manage.

So, pictures of the






Tonight is knit night and I will hit the gym before hand. Gonna work legs hard and do some cardio. I brought my knitting and my loom. I should really work on the weaving versus the knitting but I brought both so I can do both. Which should be good.

I like the painting so far. It looks real cool.

Very lovely! Is there anything you can't do?

true straight gothic scripts. I can't keep from making things round..though I need to practice and maybe move to quills.

Though, there are things I can't do...stacked dot beads being one of my banes and really good clear encasements for beads as well. But I like to practice.

You are so cute : )

I have the same trouble with Gothic - that's why I LOVE batarde

[raventhourne.livejournal.com]

yeah, I need to probably make my lining guide with a grid to help me with consistency...batarde is fun and I do a pretty nice one..though the one for this scroll was not to be batarde but a slightly rounder, more bookish gothic. Oh, well. Better luck next time.

Ianuk...the scroll is beautiful. You have my thanks and awe!

[raventhourne.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

When msshoshanna asked me to do it I knew I was up for a challenge so I had to learn lots of new skills. Plus I'm entering it in the C&I category so its all good.

Gorgeous scribal work! I can't scribe: I'm lefty, I never mastered the 'hook' technique, so I smear. :*)

Our kingdom signet is a Sinister Scribe...I'm sure she could give you pointers.
