Give me a little time to get through my current
projects (after Guardian this weekend at the least)
and I will volunteer to do some backlog.

I can do Unical and Gothic Textura Quadrata decently
(working on Insular Majuscule and Bastarda)

I can do celtic knotwork and Bar and Ivy, but have
some other books I can copy ideas from (Belle Heures
and Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duke de Berry, Visconti
Hours plus collections of Book of Hours works)

I can also draw heraldy (heck, I have a thistle in
Heraldic Art) and read and write blazon so that is not
a problem.

However, I have no familiarity with Latin, so if a
gentle wanted their scroll in Latin, I would need to
be provided the text.

As soon as I get these scrolls I am working on done, I
will provide pics for the Scribal website so people
can see my work.

I am almost entirely self-taught, so appreciate any
feedback or constructive critisism.

I am working on gold-leafing, but it is slow going,
and I do not feel 100% comfortable with it yet... So
still use gold gouache.

In Service,
Wolfger von Sibenbürgen
Shire of Mooneschadowe
