Since we are alleged to be an educational society (an objective honored
more in the breach than in the observance, unfortunately), I shall
merely point out that "fluff and pretty stuff", including but not
limited to "dots, white work and shading", on documents with respect to
honors is NOT PERIOD. Anyone who wants to do a Book of Hours or a
Psalter is encouraged to do so. Anyone attempting to do an official
diploma respecting an award ought to be aware that all this "scroll"
embellishment is SCA fantasy fru-fru, and contrary to the stated goals
of the SCA.
