This was a nice and simple scroll. Brigit asked me to do the calligraphy on her scroll and she came up with the words, word count was just over 100. The exemplar was mostly picture with only 8 words, The Flight into Egypt; Master of the Harvard Hannibal (1420-1430).
So it was definitely Textura Quadrata, but there wasn't enough words for me to really tell if there were any deviations from the standard alphabet. And Brigit gave me a nice big area to put the text, she's doing all the viney stuff and leaving the people out. So I measured out the lines and penciled in the words. They fit pretty much perfectly.
The pen and nib gave me no problem, the ink gave me no issues, doing my favored script/hand, and no smudges or smears when I went to erase a few pencil marks. All scrolls should be this easy!!
