Ansteorran scribes - 
A question was recently posed to me, and I  thought I'd find out what you 
guys thought. 

If a gentle paints  charters, paints them well, and paints lots of them... 
but only paints  charters, doesn't design the illumination or do 
calligraphy.... 
should  they be recommended for a: 
Sable Crane - for the service they are doing?  
Sable Thistle - for the artwork they are doing? 

If a Sable  Thistle?  should the category be: 
- Illumination?  - perhaps one  who designs and paints their illuminations?
- Charter Painting? - found 1  Ansteorran who has received a thistle in this 
category.
- Limning?   -  defined as 'to draw or paint', 'line drawings', 'painter of  
portraits'.
- Artwork?  - or would artwork be too generic a  term.  

Let me know what you guys thing, 
Hillary  



I would think a Sable Crane for service - painting other  people's designs, 
lots of them, for the kingdom and doing it well.
 
A Sable Thistle should be to recognize the artist's skill and donation  of 
designs to be used by the kingdom.
