All green life starts as a seed and grows, but it is few that turn into the most beautiful of flowers. We have listened, delighted, as Lady Renatta blossomed on the stage. Her joyous sound has risen to Our ears as a rose rises to the sun. Such is Our delight that We Darius, Euphonious King and Alethea, Melodious Queen are moved to honor her as one of Our Kingdom's Troubadours.
Done this day, January 24th. Anno Societatis XLIII at the King & Queen Bardic Champions in Our Barony of Concordia of the Snows.

IF I COULD TURN BACK BLOG!!!
This was one of my first forays into the C&I world.
When it came to doing the work on Renta’s backlog scroll, I chose it because she was in the Barony I lived in at the time and a good friend. I was particularly pleased with the musical terms that I used to describe the King and the Queen. All very in keeping with the Troubadour award.
I based the illumination on the Hours of the Holy Spirit from the Netherlands
Black India ink, guache, and a commercial gold ink.
This was one of the pair of backlog scrolls that were sent to the signet to have the calligraphy added and then sent to the recipient. I have spoken with the recipient and she had not received the scroll. I suspect it got lost in the ether as it were.
While the event the scroll is for is from 2009, I am dating it Aug 26, 2010 for when I sent in the backlog.
