Things for Yule 2012

3 out of 4 Champion certificates for this weekend's event follows, the 4th was being finished up last night and I don't have pictures of it yet.  I designed and did the calligraphy on the certificates and fellow members of the scribal guild painted them.

The Youth certificates are again based off of Lateinischer Psalter aus England - BSB Clm 835, which can be found HERE

The adult certificates are based on the Grande Hours of Duke du Berry.

Edit: The second adult certificate.

Construction Zone

The hobby room has been packed up for over a month now waiting for the construction of cabinets, shelves, and worktables.  We did get everything for the cabinets and shelves installed the other weekend, they just need to be trimmed out and then painted.  The work tables have all their pieces cut and are ready for assembly as soon as we can put things away in the cabinets and shelves as everything is piled where the work tables will be going.  We're hoping that by the end of December, everything will be done and we'll have our hobby room back, better then ever, and our library open for use.

Six in one Week

Last minute, well technically a three week deadline, champion certificates.  To accommodate painters I worked to get all six ready for painting in a weeks time.  I based all six off the same manuscript, Lateinischer Psalter aus England - BSB Clm 835, which can be found HERE and used the same general layout.  I did alternate the inside/outside boarders so it looks more like a series of pages from a book.  We also did a on-site calligraphy free text as it didn't look like any of the calligraphers would be attending the event.  So far they have seemed to be a hit with the painters and I hope to get some finished pictures of the pieces before they are handed out.
