About the Artist:
- SCA Name: Sara Penrose
- Branch: Barony of Loch Soilleir
About the Source:
- This scroll was not based on a particular period source, but rather
was inspired by illuminations from Books of Hours of the 1400's.
About the Scroll:
- Type of scroll: Rose Tourney prize scroll
- Paper: Arches #140 hot press
- Ink (calligraphy): Higgins Black Magic
- Paint: Windsor & Newton gouache
- Dimensions: 8.5" x 11"
Additional notes: Ansteorra's Order of the Rose hosts
a rapier tourney every year at Gulf War. This scroll was the prize scroll
for that tournament at Gulf War X. The Queens of all three host kingdoms
- Ansteorra, Meridies, and Trimaris - were gracious enough to sign the
scroll. In the small banners under each illuminated rose, I placed the
name of each Lady of the Rose who sponsored a fighter in the tourney.
I wasn't sure how many ladies we would have when I created the scroll,
but it turned out that exactly all 50 roses were filled.
