scrolly goodness

I finished up two scrolls today. One is for a future court, so no pictures yet, but the other is a back-log scroll so I can show off my pretty pictures:

The text was translated into Swedish for me by camele0pard (thanks!); you can read the translation here.

The initial is based on one from an early 15th C MS, Codex Claustroneoburgensis 136, f.30r:

That is very impressive. I do like the fill pattern for the versal - I must guve that one a try.

It was one of those things that looked really childish and amateur until the blackwork and the whitework was done, and then suddenly it transformed into something really neat looking.

Oh, pretty! And a little different from the usual. I like this!

Thats lovely!
I know the feeling about inability to post until the court is held. I have one too and am so pleased with the fact that I managed to accomplish my aims for the scroll - but can't show it to anyone!!! :)

Nice job! Particularly with the white-work.
