Imperfectly Period

As close to the original at York Minster as I could make it.

Another part of the scroll with the dragon from yesterday.  My first time freehanding acanthus leaves twined around a bar. Supposed to be a variation I found that somewhat resembled oak leaves.  Not sure how I feel about them, but I'm sure they'll look better painted.

Another local scribe is used to only painting pre-printed blank awards and is uncomfortable trying her hand at art and certainly not calligraphy. But we need some local ones which are originals and I did the rest so she can paint to her heart's content, which is why this one's cropped.

Second time working on black.  Black on black was surprisingly hard. This year I'm focusing on less tracing/more freehand and speed since I always feel I go so slow. The exemplars

Wow, I cannot take clear photos to save my life. 😅
