Calligraphy for Runnemede Invites!

So Barony of Carillion hosted the Baron & Baroness Runnemede dinner this year at Pennsic XLI. We decided to send out invitations, once at Pennsic

I did the writing on 14 invitations. Lady Lilly made 8, Baroness Katrina made 4 and I made 2, total of 14.

Here are examples of Lilly's and Katrina's they both did such awesome jobs!
This Baroness Katrina's with my calligraphy
 
This is an exampl of Lady Lilly's work
 
This is my first attempt at cadell's it is an amaturish attempt but i was keeping it simple for the invites.

here was my second attempt at the bottom swishy ;)
 
I obviously have a lot of practice I still need to do...as soon as grad school is over! So I need to do more callighraphy, cadells, herbs and sugar paste, sigh I need to win the lottery so I can have more time!

Scrolls

Well I was asked to do the callighraphy on a scroll for a household memeber, I was really nervous. Turned out ok!I think it looks good, another person did the illumination. Callighraphy at least I can pick up and put down easier then many other things. It felt good to be creative!

I may teach a class at SRWC on early medicinal practices...since that is my masters thesis! We will see if I have enough time.
