[Scriptoris] A question of paper

[Meggan Cividanes]

Thank you to both ladies who have so kindly responded! However I
believe my question was not clear. The illuminations are already DRAWN,
and the calligraphy done. However, we wish to make copies of them so
that the original black-and-whites are not painted on directly. I am
asking what, specifically, is the kind of paper that Ansteorra uses
when making 'copies' of scrolls for painting?

With Joy in Service,
Lillias
