Rodrigo Bernardez, Award of Arms Scroll Calligraphy and Illumination by Eliška z Jihlavy
by Eliška z Jihlavy |
"From the 10th centure Leon Bible. Watercolor paper with
Higgins Black Magic and gouache.
I had huge fun with this one, though I'm disappointed that the
warm color of the paper didn't show better on the copy. Rodrigo
the Rat Hand is a notorious ladies man, so I had no compunction
with replacing the rather Moorish seraphim on the original with
more earthly beauties (one black haired, one blonde, one
brunette and one redhead). I had a hard time with the script,
and finally poured through several related manuscripts until I'd
collected enough individual letters to make an alphabet I could
use." -- Eliška z Jihlavy
