Shiny Thing: September 2010
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A place for distractions. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Words: Alys's Tyger of the East. Jon Blaecstan did the calligraphy and illumination. (I hope to post a picture later. It's a knockout.) My source had a couple lines still in French in the beginning, and Brunissende helped me retain that with her French translation. As Jon was using the Vienna Codex 1856. The bolded lines below repeat, and I’ve partly mimicked this. Alys Mackyntoich Tyger of the East. Dame du ciel, regents terrienne,. A kingdom’...

Shiny Thing: Inkle loom and trim
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2010/07/inkle-loom-and-trim.html
A place for distractions. Thursday, July 22, 2010. Inkle loom and trim. Some of the trim finished lately. The pink, tan and cream one is an experiment from one of my first patterns. I changed the pattern some and the loom here is threaded with the new version. There's also some trim for Violet and Lissa that didn't use a pattern, just alternating bands of colors. The white, grey and pale blue one is an experiment from a pattern Bruni made. September 4, 2010 at 1:42 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Shiny Thing: June 2010
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A place for distractions. Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Brunissende de Broceliande did the calligraphy and illumination for this scroll, with scenes including Lylie in court and a bedroom scene for her interest in period bedrooms. Lylie's persona is late 14th-century English, so I returned to 1380's Chaucer for this scroll. Lylie is another of the Wyves of the Oaken Glen, so I used The Wife of Bath from Canterbury Tales. For help with pronunciation, I used mostly this guide. Lylie of Penhyll's Pelican:. When me...

Shiny Thing: Words: Violet's OSC
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2010/09/words-violets-osc.html
A place for distractions. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Brunissende did the calligraphy and illumination. I'm unsure of Violet's persona, but I think it's 16th-century lowland Scots. I based these words on 16th-century English poet Edmund Spenser's An Hymn In Honour Of Beauty. The rhyme scheme is ABABBCC. The first verse of the award text is directly based on the below verse from Spenser. To serve is that which giveth pleasant grace. To all things fair, that kindleth lively fire,. 60 Thence to the soul d...

Shiny Thing: August 2009
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A place for distractions. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Did the calligraphy and illumination for the Pelican scroll of Brannat Dub, called Raven. As far as he knew, the persona of the recipient is Scots-Gaelic, so I used "The Poet asks an Irish Patron for a Harp", Scottish-Gaelic, c. 1450, from. The Poetry of Scotland: Gaelic, Scots and English. Brannat Dub, called Raven. Under the rule of Andreas and Gabriella,. Wheat flourishes on Eastern plains;. Each ear of corn carries its full burden. Have come, and goo...

Shiny Thing: Words: Cellach's Court Barony
http://shiny-thing.blogspot.com/2010/04/scroll-words-cellachs-court-barony.html
A place for distractions. Friday, April 16, 2010. Words: Cellach's Court Barony. Brunissende de Broceliande did the calligraphy and illumination for this court barony scroll. I based the words on The Faerie Queene. By Edmund Spenser, 1590. Not much liking the period Irish poetry I found, I used the English Spenserian stanza from. Which is at least set in Munster. The scroll words were most influenced by two stanzas from Canto I. Court Barony, with Grant of Arms. A lovely Ladie kneels us faire before,.
