Here are some examples of Susan's past work.
This is an SCA scroll for the East Kingdom Order of the Troubadour, awarded to a talented young performer. It is based on pages from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves, made in France in the early to mid-1400's. The layout of this scroll mimics the pages of an open book. |
This is an SCA scroll for the East Kingdom Order of the Silver Crescent, awarded to a friend for her service to the group. It is based on folio 127v of The Psalter and Hours of Henry Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, made in England in the first half of the 15th century. |
This is an SCA Award of Arms scroll. It is based on the Codex Manesse, a 14th century German manuscript. The knight on the right will be completed with the recipient's heraldry when his design has been approved. |
This is another SCA Award of Arms scroll. When the recipient's heraldry design has been approved, it will be depicted inside the versal (the large letter "D"), and the blazon (the heraldic description) will be written in on the blank lines. This scroll is based on folio 42v of the Rheims Missal, made in France between 1285 and 1297. |
These are SCA scrolls for the E.K. Orders of the Maunche (arts) and the Silver Crescent (service). Since they were given to a married couple, they were designed as facing pages of an open book. They are based on a page from the Hours of the Duke of Anjou, made in France circa 1380. Susan did the illumination; the calligraphy is by her friend, Catherine Crow.

This is another SCA scroll for the E.K. Order of the Silver Crescent. The rosary border is based on plate 116 (The Adoration of the Magi) from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves, made in France in the early to mid-1400's. |
