and it had been going so well

I'd done all of the calligraphy (and there was A LOT!), all of the sketching for the illumination, and most of the painting. I was probably about 95% done. And I found my one requisite error in the text: I blazoned the device as "per chevron sable and argent" instead of "per chevron sable and vert".

*sigh*

So, I drew a red line through "argent", wrote "vert" in the space between the illumination and the text, and did my best (which is not very good) at drawing a little pointing hand. I've never tried scraping ink off perg, and it's something I'm very leery of trying, and even if I had, "argent" takes up more space than "vert" and so the inter-word spacing would've been off and I think it would've looked worse than what I've ended up with.

I'll see if I can boot Joel off the computer so that I can scan in the final product (it's a back-log scroll, so no secrecy here) and post pictures here later.

But, frustrating. :(

EDIT: Here it is--
