thumbs up: penwork; thumbs down: Gothic calligraphy
This was my project for Sunday:
Lindquistringes for Katherine Percival

A back-log Lindquistringes, based on British Library MS Arundel 134 f. 2, France, 2nd half of the 13th C. I'm much happier with how this penwork initial turned out (the ratio of white space to colored space in the inner bit is much closer to the original), though I still feel like I don't know how to finish off the ends -- my flourishes at the end of the vertical block aren't right.
And, man, Gothic hands are my downfall. This is a very sorry attempt. I just can't seem to keep all my angles the same and all my vertical lines straight. sigh.

Meal plans generally run by individual campsite, but there is also this one http://www.goldgryph.com/food_at_festival.htm
Do you have a camp group arranged? St Florians have offered to host, or there are vague musings about starting a CoA/H camp, if you (all three) don't have prior arrangements.
My email is on the Roster if you'd rather avoid clutter on LJ.
