ES - FW: Dear Seneschals, please help...

[Richard Threlkeld]

This message just came in. It is probably too late to get
into the Scroll and a little too large, but if you will
excuse the bandwidth. The spacing had been mangled in
transit when I got it and I have been loath to change
her document to attempt to correct it.

Ta ta, Ta ta.  A message from Star Signet (Kingdom
	officer responsible for scrolls including those
	wonderful awards scrolls we all cherish)

Subject: Dear Seneschals, please help...




Greetings!
    I'd like to ask a small favor, if you wouldn't mind....Would you please
forward this letter to your group's chronicler so that he or she could put
it in your next newsletter?  I'd really appreciate it!  At some point it
will appear in the Black Star, but I'd also like to reach the wonderful
painters who don't get the Black Star!
Thank you very much for any help you can give me!

Unto all Ansteorran Charter Painters does Baroness Curstaidh Magorlick, Star
Signet, send

   Greetings!
        Below you'll find some important reminders about charter painting
that is being sent out again, for the benefit of new painters and as well as
our more experienced painters, and you will also find some new information,
especially who to contact for blank charters to paint.  So I apologize for
the cut-and-paste look but felt it important to send out  some of this
information again as well as add to it!
   I would like to briefly discuss charter painting, paper, and scribal
contacts in the Kingdom.  First, and most
   importantly,  thank you very much, O wondrous painters, for all the
support you have given in the past to our fair Kingdom!  I am very proud of
Anstoerra's painters and appreciate your dedication and hard work!!  Please
keep up the  researching, painting, and promoting of this fun art and
service!
    Now that a new Reign has begun, we are in need of painted award
charters!  So it's time once more to have
painting parties, dig out charters not yet completed and finish them off,
and get them in the mail to the Sable Scroll!
    Please remember that finished award charters are welcome at any time
during a Reign, and that the Sable Scroll is always happy to receive your
hard work!   Moreover, I have it on good authority that one, if not more, of
the Sable Scroll / deputies will be at every event with the Crown.  Just ask
for a Royal Scribe and you'll be directed to one of the three so that you
can drop off finished charters and pick up blanks!
   Next, I need to talk about some of the charters we have received lately.
Our Kingdom charters are run off on very specific paper, using top level
toner,  to help insure quality for the painting and calligraphy that needs
to end up on said paper.  Not all paper can receive paint and ink very well,
and herein lies a slight problem we are having.  Out of good intentions we
have some gentles who are running off their own charters, painting them, and
turning them in.
   Unfortunately, the paper quality and toner quality are not of the
standards we use, and so we have some beautiful charters being turned in
with flaking toner and / or paper that feathers / bleeds with the
calligraphy ink!  So after all that work being done, created with the best
of intentions, it is heartbreaking that these charters can't be used!
   Another problem we are having is from painters forgetting to put a cover
sheet, towel, or cloth underneath any skin that touches the charter as they
paint.  Your hand, forearm, whatever - the natural oil we all have in our
skin will be absorbed by the paper, something you'll not even notice
happening.  The scribe filling in the awards will notice it, though, when
trying to write in that oiled area - the pen will usually slide right over
that area, and the ink will not be absorbed as fully as it should, or even
at all, in some cases.  Depending on the paper being used -- as in a nice
gentle trying to use  his/her own paper, etc., to create blank charters to
paint -- the paper may also feather / bleed the ink, as mentioned in the
previous paragraph.  So not only then is the scribe trying to work with a
charter that has oil patches that make the pen slide off from creating the
letter trying to be written, he or she might also end up trying to control
the feathering of the ink on the very next letter!

   So please, fellow painters, get your blank charters from your Regional
Scribe, the Sable Scroll, or from myself, Star Signet.  Many times, too, you
will find that your local charter painting group has extra charters to hand
out - great! Get charters from them, too! The head of the group has either
received the paper / charter from the people responsible for handing out the
charters, or has special permission from me to run them off.
