This project was also full of lessons learned. Yes, even a very experienced scribe learns something every time they work on a project. Number one, confirm all name spellings, even if you are sure you've got it right. Check and double check.
I finished the knotwork bar on the left while doused with lortab after oral surgery. I'm a little surprised it didn't turn out more sloppy than it did. All in all, it was a very fun project, and I'm thrilled that Maestro Azir thought of me when choosing a scribe. I did his White Scarf scroll a number of years ago, and this was for his student, so that's pretty meaningful to me.
There is some hidden meaning in there - white spirals for white scarf, blue for his famous face paint, red rubricated knots signify his red scarf/cadet relationship with Azir, and gold knotwork for the gold scarf he already had. The birds are for shits and giggles because the purist in me couldn't do a skull. :D I'm sure he doesn't know me, but I've been watching him for years (my ex husband is a rapier fighter, so I know the ropes).
