My current project is a laurel scroll commissioned by Mistress Derbail inghean Conchobar for Ophelia aus Bavaria. Her persona is mid 14th century German but the style was left as flexible. Initial work began on this project in early April.
My inspiration piece is taken from a great website on the Burnet Psalter. It is a 15th century psalter that was donated to the Marischal College in Aberdeen during the 16th century by one of its alumni Gilbert Burnet. The site has full images of every page of the manuscript! The design has textura quadrata calligraphy (used in northern Europe from the 13th century through the early 16th century), basic red blue and whitework color scheme, and LOTS and LOTS of pretty GOLD.
