Another batch ready to post
I've completed another batch of backlog scrolls.
I got a bit carried away this time looking for alternatives to my previous 'standard' versal, and as I went through the set the scrolls became more and more complicated - to the extent that I could probably have completed three of the 'standard' scrolls in the time it took me to do each of the three with the floral borders.
For the first time I had a go at doing a pair of scrolls for a couple. Actually it's a set of three for a couple and their daughter, but I did the third deliberately similar-but-different to highlight that although she's in the family she's an individual in her own right. Here are the pair:
The complete set is in the usual gallery. It was also the first time I've tried that particular type of border, and I'm quite pleased with it. I've also created a set of templates for drawing circles, shields and so on for badges, which helps with the consistency. Now all I have to do is to parcel them up and stick them in the post on Monday.
