| Valeran do Pico's Award of Arms - 1981 |
|
The picture above is the second scroll I ever did. I don't have a picture of the first scroll I ever did (which was Elyramere
of Tymberlyne Heyght's AoA). This scroll is tube watercolors on a parchment like paper.
The pictures below is Grimarr of Nordheim's (aka Everard Mead) award of arms, done in 1983. This is done on rag paper
with tube watercolors. Grimarr's persona was Viking, so I did the longship illumination with his badge on it.

| Clarissa Elana Perrenoud de Guilbert's Dolphin |
|
| This was from 1983 |
The scroll pictured above is Clarissa's Order of the Dolphin Scroll, from around 1983. Again, this is tube watercolor on
rag paper. I rather like the detail of the dolphins wrapped around the stem of the vine.
The scroll below is Katarina of Enchanted Lakes' Award of Arms, from 1984. This is, I think, my first one done in gouache,
as I did it while staying with Eowyn Amberdrake in the summer before I moved to California. Eowyn kindly loaned me the paper
and paints, and her work space.

| These were for Valeran do Pico and his wife, Eileen Rahel do Pico |
The two scrolls above were done a year apart, the first one for Valeran do Pico and the second for his then wife, Eileen Rahel
do Pico. This was my first set of matching scrolls, and they were done in 1982 and 1983. Tube watercolors on rag paper.
The scroll below is Marco Valerio de Bartolomeo's Award of Arms scroll. I did this in 1983 or 1984. Tube watercolor
on rag paper.

| Black Taylor of Lochaber's Leaf of Merit 1983 |
|
The scroll above is Black Taylor of Lochaber's Leaf of Merit scroll, done in 1982 or 1983. This was my first attempt at doing
the checkered background found in so many illuminated manuscripts. Tube watercolors and metallic ink on rag paper.
The scroll below is Richard of Castlenorth's Harp Argent scroll, done around 1984 or 1985. This was my first attempt
at a Flemish style of scroll. Gouache on rag paper.
