I basically had the time from when I came back from the event to Falling Leaves to get the calligraphy done and get as many of the word to fit in the space provided as possible. I did a lot of work and rework of the calligraphy trying to get the just slightly out of period hand to work for me with the abbreviated timeline, but again. Learning a new hand in a short timeline is not the brightest of ideas so some of the letter forms are not ideal and look a bit more like other hands I know better. All in all though I think it pulled together well and made for a complete piece with the stunning illumination Nataliia did.
Illumination by Natallia Anastasiia Evgenova
Words by HRH Donovan Shinnock
Calligraphy by me using Dr. PhMartin's Specralite gold 18 carat.
