[Scriptoris] Sable Crane or Thistle?

[Celestria leDragon]

 Here is my 2 cents worth:

I think if a person painting charters does a good job painting then they
should be recognized for their time and talent. Maybe they are not
interested in designing or don't think they have the talent to draw or do
calligraphy. I can't draw and don't have the patience for calligraphy but I
can sit and paint for hours on a scroll. Would you rather receive an
unpainted scroll or one that someone has painted? It takes talent to make
the original scroll and it takes talent to finish bringing it to life with
color. As far as teaching I don't feel that a Thistle has that requirement
with it like an Iris does.

If a person paints scrolls and has not been recognized for their service
then I think they should be put in for an award be it for their painting
skills or the service they are doing for the kingdom. It is nice to know
that you are appreciated for the work you are doing. In receiving
recognition then that person my find the confidence to try new things and
learn more.
