[MR] Re: [SCA_S&I] Atenveldt's newest Laurel's scroll

[Joshua Thomas]

I thought this scroll was spectacular. It kind of reminds me why I
make stuff for people for free: eventually I will be able to make
something as awe inspiring as this piece from Atenveldt.

What's more important is it was a group effort with multiple scribes
and non scribes involved in it's creation. That is something we should
encourage in scriptoriums in Atlantia. We are too individualistic when
it comes to the scribe process. We can separate it down to more than
just a calligrapher and illuminator. Just think if we had people who
did just Limning, Gilding, Design etc.
