This last minute scroll assignment was one I could not say no to. We were finishing up with E&T's second reign, Thyra and I are preparing to go to Germany in a week, all the things are happening.....and yet I jumped at the chance to do this one. Philip was one of the awesome people I had met during our fantastical world tour of the East and beyond and I was surprised to learn how much behind the scenes things he did to help dancing happen at the royal progress events.
Given the short timeline (~3 days), I wanted something simple, yet elegant....and also I needed to work gold in there somehow. I did created the words with some editing help from Thyra.
