Calligraphy and Artwork - Society for Creative Anachronism

 When I was in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism (1988 - 1993?), I did a lot of calligraphy and illumination on award scrolls.  I taught calligraphy in a collegium setting.  My name in the SCA was Lady Morgaine Brisen.  I received an Award of Arms, Harp Argent, Dolphin, and Baronial Service Award from the Barony of Lyondemere.  I enjoyed being in this group very much and it was because of personal conflicts that I had to quit.  All scrolls were made in "scriptorium" as work had been done in the monasteries of the Middle Ages.  The following scrolls are just a few that I did while in the SCA.  Notations tell you whether I only did the calligraphy or if I did both the calligraphy and the illumination, i.e., artwork.  The circles on each scroll were left to have wax seals placed by the Kingdom's Herald before being presented to the recipient.

A Few Crocheted Art Dolls

These are just a few of my art dolls. Previously I had only made art dolls in cloth, but these are crocheted originals. (Sorry, no patterns). The top photo is "Sea Goddess" and she was made as part of a challenge in another online group. The second photo is of "A Self-Made Woman" and was a commissioned sale (through my etsy shop). The last photo is of "Venus of Willendorf". She was created as part of a "What Am I?" game in Crochet In Common's (Yahoo Group). I did step-by-step photos of the work in progress and posted one every few days for members to guess. The person that won did not want the doll, so I put her up for sale on my etsy shop and the customer who commissioned the doll in the second photo bought this one also.
