I did something to my right hand/wrist, LARPed, and then irritated my wrist to the point where I needed to use a brace for a bit. I did a bulk of the calligraphy pre-brace. Doing the calligraphy and illumination completely fatigued me and it took a lot longer than I thought to finish it up. I also somehow could not find my exemplars of carolingian miniscule or my copy of Drogan. I ended up doing the calligraphy in a chancery hand instead. Because of the time crunch and fatiguing issues with my wrist, I recycled a source.
The only downside with this scroll is the quality of the photo makes it so you can't see the bit of whitework/detailing.
