County Scroll

Last week I managed to get the county scroll laid out, calliged, and inked.  I used sumi ink, a nice dark black carbon ink, for the calligraphy. I did use a black archival ink for the scenes instead of the reddish brown that can been seen in the manuscript.  The black should give the finished project a nice clean feel.   I'll start the painting this week.  I'm still shooting to get the project done by the end of February, so it'll have plenty of shipping time.
