This is my first award work as a scribe in our Kingdom, and it isn't too bad.

I was given encouragement from Mistress Aliskye and Mistress Maeb to begin my first award scroll, for a man who has waited a long time to receive this scroll.

The original is based on a page from The Hours of Mary of Burgundy, c. 1477 (Cod. 1857, fol. 152r). This original was relatively simple, but provided plenty of room for the many words of the award. It had some pen flourishes that I had no idea how to replicate, but not making them provided the needed space for the required Kingdom seals.

The scanned images of my recreation do not include the full area of the scroll, since much of it is empty space. The seals area will be directly below the areas shown, as seen in the final image. The final image is a photo taken by Mistress Aliskye during Caid's Coronation in November, 2009.

• Progress info can be found in my blog.
• Further info on this scroll can be found at its Caid's wiki page.
