scrolls for friends, a pelican for Ele












Based of the Grand Hours of Duc de Berry this was my gift to Ele for her elevation to Pelican. It was done in Switzerland over a period of a couple of weeks because it took ages to do. This was a scroll where I stepped up a bit, met my own personal challenge of getting better. I was happy with how it turned out and it's quite large.

A lot of scribes will use the Grand Hours as a template for a peerage scroll, it's perfect for them really.  This is my version.

Gouche, watercolour on pergamenata with 23kt transfer gold and oak-gall ink.
