Queen's Order of Courtesy

This scroll was for Ingrid Audardotter. I don't know her but I wanted the scroll, as per Siobhan's instructions to be beautiful and also different.Ages ago I found the scribe pattern book online and have been dying to use some of the examples in it. It seemed the perfect choice for the integration of the badge of the award and intricate ink work. Black and red inks are not a combination I use often but the contrast is visually gorgeous.

The inspiration for this scroll came from here:
