<PRE>Unto all Ansteorran Charter Painters does Baroness Curstaidh Magorlick, Star Signet, send
Greetings!</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
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, expecially 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!<BR>
<BR>
I would like to briefly discuss charter painting, paper, and
scribal contacts in the Kingdom. First, and most <BR>
importantly, thank you very much, O wondrous painters,
for all the support you have given in the past to our fair <BR>
Kingdom! I am very proud of Anstoerra's painters and
appreciate your dedication and hard work!! Please keep up <BR>
the researching, painting, and promoting of this fun
art and service! <BR>
<BR>
Now that a new Reign has begun, we are in need of painted
award charters! So it's time once more to have <BR>
painting parties, dig out charters not yet completed and finish them off,
and get them in the mail to the Sable Scroll! <BR>
Please remember that finished award charters are welcome at any time during
a Reign, and that the Sable Scroll is always <BR>
happy to receive your hard work!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Next, I need to talk about some of the charters we have received
lately. Our Kingdom charters are run off on very <BR>
specific paper, using top level toner, to help insure
quality for the painting and calligraphy that needs to end up on said <BR>
paper. Not all paper can receive paint and ink very
well, and herein lies a slight problem we are having. Out of good <BR>
intentions we have some gentles who are running off their
own charters, painting them, and turning them in. <BR>
<BR>
Unfortunately, the paper quality and toner quality are not
of the standards we use, and so we have some beautiful <BR>
charters being turned in with flaking toner and / or paper
that feathers / bleeds with the calligraphy ink! So after all that <BR>
work being done, created with the best of intentions, it is
heartbreaking that these charters can't be used! <BR>
<BR>
Another problem we are having is from painters forgetting
to put a cover sheet, towel, or cloth underneath any skin <BR>
that touches the charter as they paint. Your hand, forearm,
whatever - the natural oil we all have in our skin will be <BR>
absorbed by the paper, something you'll not even notice happening.
The scribe filling in the awards will notice it, <BR>
though, when trying to write in that oiled area - the pen
will usually slide right over that area, and the ink will not be <BR>
absorbed as fully as it should, or even at all, in some cases.
Depending on the paper being used -- as in a nice gentle <BR>
trying to use his/her own paper, etc., to create blank
charters to paint -- the paper may also feather / bleed the ink, as <BR>
mentioned in the previous paragraph. So not only then
is the scribe trying to work with a charter that has oil patches <BR>
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 <BR>
feathering of the ink on the very next letter! <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So please, fellow painters, get your blank charters from your
Regional Scribe, the Sable Scroll, or from myself, Star <BR>
Signet. Many times, too, you will find that your local
charter painting group has extra charters to hand out - great! Get <BR>
charters from them, too! The head of the group has either
received the paper / charter from the people responsible for <BR>
handing out the charters, or has special permission from me
to run them off. <BR>
<BR>
Now to list the addresses of the people to contact for blank
charters: <BR>

Any updates to the names and addresses above will appear via the Ansteorran list and the Black Star (look in the back
under each Region). When possible, hopefully the chroniclers from our various groups will be able to help out and
also post this information.
Thank you for your time, and thank you for being just who you are, Ansteorran charter painters!
Sincerely,
Baroness Curstaidh Magorlick
