Copy Master & New Toys

Finished up one of the last pieces for the weekend the other night.  It's a master for a black and white set of copies that will be given to the individual winners of the micro tourneys that will be going on.

I also received my order from http://randyasplund.com/
The tools are great.  The picture doesn't do the knife justice, it's beautiful and feels really nice in the hand.  I did try out the lead-tin stylus and it's a bit different then a pencil, a lot smoother and so little pressure is needed to get a mark.

Champions

I've been working on champion scrolls when not writing or doing research lately.

Illuminated Armenian Manuscripts were chosen to be the source of inspiration for the six regular champion scrolls needed for the next local event.  I used the illusioniary Armenian hand I created a while back for the calligraphy.  Each of the Armenian Scrolls was designed and painted by other talented members of the guild.

I choose to use other designs for the champions scrolls I was working on since they aren't part of usual set of champions.  Two are for Youth champions and two are for champions from a series of micro tourneys.
