Scrivener's Challenge: Period Supplies for the Modern Scribe
Scrivener's Challenge: Period Supplies for the Modern Scribe
SCAdians share a love for the medieval, and scribes are no exception. We also love trying new things. I would challenge scribes to try one new-to-them period tool, supply, or style as often as possible. Once per reign, once per month, or once per scroll, trying new things is how we learn and grow.
Style
Style
Complete a scroll or blank using a style or technique you have never studied before. Diapering? Ferrara School style? Cadels? There are so many options.
Pigment
Pigment
Add at least one period (or copycat) pigment to your palette, whether purchased or homemade. Lamp black and Verona Green are simple to make. Non-cadmium Scarlet is a beautiful vermilion replacement.
Tools
Tools
Experiment with at least one new-to-you period tool on a scroll. Egg-white glair is quick to make. A shell for paint is surprisingly convenient.
