Red Raven – Emelina le Norreys

This scroll is based on a charter for the city of Canterbury. It was awarded Feb. 5, 2022. The illumination was done by Seong Myeong Su Daesaseong. I did the calligraphy and seal.

Tools and Materials

  • Oak gall ink
  • Cotten crochet yarn
  • Modern traditional recipe sealing wax
  • Two part epoxy putty
  • Pewter, brass

The seal tag is made from two plied cords, one black and one blue. The cords were knotted together and then sealed over the knot. I carved a seal matrix out of two part epoxy putty and then sand cast it in pewter. A loop made from sheet brass was glued to the back of the matrix so it could be suspended from a cord.
