Pelican Scrolls for Robert of Griffinholme (Rog) and Aylwyn of Griffinholme

This scroll was given to Robert of Griffinholme, called Rog, and Aylwyn of Griffinholme, both dear friends of mine, both extremely deserving of the induction into the Order of the Pelican, at Ceilidh on March 4, 2006. For those of you not involved in it, this is a part of the SCA which is my biggest hobby. I live in the Middle Kingdom in the Barony of Fenix.

Rog and Aylwyn together

For this project, I chose to put Rog and Aylwyn's scrolls together on one big page. Rog actually received his Pelican last September at an event called Harvest Day. I did his promissory scroll for that event. Then he asked me to do his really real scroll. This is Winsor & Newton gouache on pergamenata. Anywhere that looks gold (except the green and yellow fenix shield at the top) is shell gold paint.

Rog's scroll by itself

Here is a pic of Rog's scroll all by itself. The fuzziness is my fault... the lines are all actually very crisp and clean.

Aylwyn's scroll all by itself

And here is Aylwyn's scroll by itself. Again, any fuzziness is the fault of the photographer, me, and the lines were actually very clean.
