Aldith Angharad St. George's Order of the Laurel scroll,
by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova
"Note the motto scrolling, which bears the motto of the
West Kingdom College of Scribes Pono Eum In Scribendum
(Put It In Writing). Note the unusual layout, forced upon
me by my abysmal lack of planning while doing the calligraphy.
No room left at the bottom for signatures and seals, so we'll
just shoe-horn them into some blank spot that's left over.
Let us add a nice ruled ink line about everything to frame it.
Hmmm. Too stark -- let us add a black/red painted border.
There's some unfilled space up in the capital letter box -- let's
add a swash to the top of the 'L'. Rats -- that sucks. Let's
-- quit while you're ahead, idiot!" -- Tatiana
