In the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) making award scrolls for other members is a whole hobby-within-a-hobby. So are armor making, woodworking, costuming, culinary arts, period music... it’s a long list. While most of my earlier SCA award scrolls, including the Dragon’s Heart and Countess scrolls, follow the SCA-traditional book-page style, the Arms scroll for David Craig, the Queen’s Favor and Willow are based on actual scrolls confirming charters and grants of the period. I received expert translations for the Celtic and Countess scrolls. But while top SCA scribes use real parchment and even grind their own pigments, I merely used gouache and, except for the Arms scroll, paper. On the plus side, I was fortunate to attend a Heraldic Painting workshop in England taught by former Queen’s Painter Anthony Wood, whose work commands princely sums. My Gorget, which I still use, is based on one in the Chicago Institute of Arts, but is not etched as that would have placed it outside my “persona” period. The thrones and the speaker cabinet roughly follow forms from period sources.
