[Scriptoris] The Scribal Website

[zubeydah at northkeep.org]

Hello, scribes!

I come before you (yes, again! :> ) to ask for your help in expanding 
the 'visual library' of charters. If you're not familiar with the virtual 
library, in the library, we are endeavoring to obtain a clean scan of each 
scroll, the instructions on how to paint that specific scroll, and 
*importantly* a properly painted finished example.

It's the finished examples that I am *REALLY* needing... At your next local 
scribal meeting, or the next time you finish a work, would you be willing to 
scan or photograph your work, so I could use them as examples? This resource is 
especially valuable to those scribes that don't live near others in the scribal 
community, who might not have access to classes or 'how tos' or the advice of 
other scribes.

I've been asked, "well, which ones do you need?"  So glad you asked - Here's a 
list!

Another item currently in development for the site is 'practice sheets' -- I'm 
looking for those talented folks who have made practice sheets for illuminated 
versals, diapering patterns, bar & ivy patterns, etc. If you have made such a 
practice sheet and would be willing to share it with your fellow scribes, 
please contact me off list.
