Howdy all

Another lurker for the most part here. My name is HL Borek Vitalievich Volkov, CSM, Star Principal Herald, Apprentice to Sheik Da'ud ibn Auda, OP, OL, Lion. I am currently a member of HRH Larissa's Entourage

In the past I have painted a number of charters and am in hopes of getting back to it. (I still need lots of work with white lines.) I have also completely reproduced a couple of copies of the stock Achievement scroll which uses a bastard form of Carolingian I think. If time allows and permission is given, I may start up a charter painting session on Wednesday nights at TRH's.

I have a number of C&I projects that I want to do and my main focus of late has been 'The Book of Deer'. http://www.bookofdeer.co.uk/homepage.html

In addition to C&I, I have done painted heraldic banners, built chairs with heraldic devices painted on the fabric seat, chainmail headdresses, cordial making, embroidery, blackwork (including Holbein), painted display shields and honor shields, and I have done quite a bit of baking.

My awards are:
Acorn of the Steppes - Non-Armigerous local service award
AoA
Oak of the Steppes - Baronial Service Award
Sable Thistle - Embroidery
Sable Thistle - Heraldic Art
Star of Merit

My only current household affiliation is as a bronze in Rising Thunder

If anyone has any questions about heraldry for their C&I projects, please contact me or the new heraldic deputy position I created, Sigillarius Herald, who is in charge of promoting the Heraldic Arts, Mistress Muriel FitzLloyd.

Borek, Star
