Unto the Kingdom of Æthelmearc, does
Baroness Ekaterina Volkova, Sylvan Signet of Æthelmearc send greetings.



The Kingdom is very low on scroll blanks and we need to
replenish.  There are calligraphers who
are anxious to share their skills, with nothing to write upon. With
permission
of Their Royal Majesties, Titus and Anna Leigh, I hereby issue a challenge
to
all.  How many scroll blanks can you
make?



This challenge is to take place from now until March 21,
2015.  There will be two collection
points.  The first will be at Æthelmearc
Kingdom Twelfth Night, to be held on January 10, 2015 in the Shire of
Abhainn Ciach
Ghlais and the second will be on March 21, 2015 at the Festival of the
Passing
of the Ice Dragon in the Barony of the Rhyddierch Hael.



There will be prizes at both collection events for each segment of the
competition as well as overall. Winners will be selected on
a point based system.



The points will be awarded as such:



1 pt - for every scroll blank turned in

1 pt - for inspiration documentation cited

1 pt - for use of period pigments noted

1 pt - for use of period inks noted

1 pt - for being an experienced scribe (on the roster for
more than a year or having an award for C&I )

2 pts - for being a new scribe (not on the roster or on
the roster for less than a year)



There will also be an undisclosed amount of points for an
“ooh factor” to be awarded by members of the Signet Office and the Royalty.

No scroll blanks larger than 11”x 17”Hot press water color paper,
pergamentata or animal vellum/parchment preferred, though Bristol board is
acceptableNo use of markers (felt tip or magic), color pencils, pastels or
crayons.  Name of scribe must be listed on the back of the scroll.





Please feel free to contact me with any questions.



Sincerely,



Ekat
