15 for 15: Ælfwynn the scribe

So many things have happened since my last post! I haven't kept up with my BuJo = a lot less things are getting done on the blog.. I have kept VERY busy though!

I entered Nordmark's Principality tournament with Herr Krake.. and we WON! So since Doublewars I've been the Princess of Nordmark. A somewhat strange feeling after over 15 years in the Society.. but a lot of fun and a lot of work!

I set a goal for myself to start doing scrolls again, and since becoming Princess I've made 8 thus far!

V.ä.V. in Gyllengran

2. The Hare of Nordmark: Ossi Orava (Ossi Nash)

I made the calligraphy and Siiri Hyvämieli made the illumination. She won my choice in the blank scroll competition at Double wars and is actually Ossi's big sister :)

He got The Squirrel of Nordmark (children taking part)

3. The Unicorn of Nordmark: Siiri Hyvämieli ( Siiri Nash)

Together with my daughter Tuva (Beatrix Gareysin) I made this scroll for Siiri. Tuva made the illumination and I the calligraphy. The Unicorn of Nordmark is an A&S award for children and she got it for her illuminations.
