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.
