Quick & Dirty Binding

-
Image
I've had my eye on some leather folders, but I'm currently between jobs and hate seeing plastic binders during court. So I did some quick and dirty limp binding with some scrap linen for my baronial ceremonial.  100% handsewn linen with matching green poly thread. If I'd had the confidence and time to do a test scrap, I would have tried to stiffen it with gum Arabic.  Knowing myself, I need to be able to wash it at least once in a blue moon so didn't want to glue to cardboard. It was a touch too small, so I had to trim the edges and laughed at the hack job, reminding myself this is why I'm not a bookbinder.

What do you do when you have event tokens and don't have a persona that would have a treasure chain or you dislike the medieval Mr. T look? You make them into ornaments!

Silver Hand

A Silver Hand, an award for long-term service to the Principality, for my Laurel. Discovered I hate designing Norse-style awards and that ink does NOT work on top of gouache.  Had to wreck a couple of microns.

Scribetober: Seagull

-
Image
Still posting old projects since my brushes are all loaned out. Yes, I translated this into Latin as best I could.  Why?  It was going to a friend with a late period Italian persona and the exemplar I used was in Latin. The award is called the Seagull so I painted them like Mediterranean seagulls eating bread and fries.
