It took a while to work up an old roll of film. If the recorded date is correct this was shot for Utata's Thursday walk #600 (Oct 9, 2017).

My second scroll based on an authentic medieval illuminated manuscript. Painted on cream cardstock to give it the appearance of parchment paper, and outlined with black paint using a very thin outliner brush. Includes metallic gold paint.
When the prayer scrolls become old, instead of throwing them away, they stuff it into the walls of the monastery. That way they weather away on their own.
From the Oirase Keiryu Hotel at Yakeyama, Aomori prefecture. This is one of few hot spring inns tucked away in the forest. Run by Hoshino Resorts.
No doubt a different experience compared to staying at a traditional inn in Kyoto, but this one brings you closer to natural scenery than man-made gardens.

April 22, 2010 Ð Scroll of Honor Dedication. Nearly 500 Clemson University graduates who died in service to their country were remembered Thursday during dedication ceremonies for the Scroll of Honor. Clemson President James Barker and selected dignitaries unveiled two purple-shrouded tiger statues as a crowd of up 1,000 applauded and stood at attention. To date 470 names are etched into the stone scroll. There are 27 names from WWI; one from the Nicaraguan campaign; 378 from WWII; 17 more from Korea; one, that of a pilot, from the Cuban missile crisis; 25 from the Vietnam War: and 19 from the Cold War era and the wars on terror. Two additional names were added just as the ceremony took place. The Clemson Corps, organized in 1999, is responsible for maintaining the Scroll of Honor records. The corps is associated with the Clemson Alumni Association and helps raise funds for the preservation of ClemsonÕs military history and the creation of scholarships for ROTC cadets..
Not allowed to take photos here. Ya like whatever.
The Dead Sea scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran near the ruins of the ancient settlement of Khirbet Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea.
The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include some of the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 CE, and preserve evidence of considerable diversity of belief and practice within late Second Temple Judaism. They are written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, mostly on parchment, but with some written on papyrus. hese manuscripts generally date between 150 BCE to 70 CE. The scrolls are most commonly identified with the ancient Jewish sect called the Essenes, but recent scholarship has challenged their association with the scrolls.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are traditionally divided into three groups: "Biblical" manuscripts (copies of texts from the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 40% of the identified scrolls; "Apocryphal" or "Pseudepigraphical" manuscripts (known documents from the Second Temple Period like Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, Sirach, non-canonical psalms, etc., that were not ultimately canonized in the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls; and "Sectarian" manuscripts (previously unknown documents that speak to the rules and beliefs of a particular group or groups within greater Judaism) like the Community Rule, War Scroll, Pesher (Hebrew pesher פשר = "Commentary") on Habakkuk, and the Rule of the Blessing, which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls.
Publication of the scrolls has taken many decades, and the delay has been a source of academic controversy. As of 2007 two volumes remain to be completed, with the whole series, Discoveries in the Judean Desert, running to thirty-nine volumes in total. Many of the scrolls are now housed in the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem. According to The Oxford Companion to Archeology, "The biblical manuscripts from Qumran, which include at least fragments from every book of the Old Testament, except perhaps for the Book of Esther, provide a far older cross section of scriptural tradition than that available to scholars before. While some of the Qumran biblical manuscripts are nearly identical to the Masoretic, or traditional, Hebrew text of the Old Testament, some manuscripts of the books of Exodus and Samuel found in Cave Four exhibit dramatic differences in both language and content. In their astonishing range of textual variants, the Qumran biblical discoveries have prompted scholars to reconsider the once-accepted theories of the development of the modern biblical text from only three manuscript families: of the Masoretic text, of the Hebrew original of the Septuagint, and of the Samaritan Pentateuch. It is now becoming increasingly clear that the Old Testament scripture was extremely fluid until its canonization around 100 CE."
Practice plate for interlocking scrolls. I've included some progression photos. I begin by drawing the designs, transferring them and then cutting the outline. from there comes background removal and shading. Finished plate is 2 x 4 inches.
The Clemson Corps maintains the Scroll of Honor to honor those Clemson alumni who made the ultimate sacrifice- those who gave their lives in service to their country. To date, 470 alumni have been identified who were killed from WWI through the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Live scroll of Google search queries, in most reception areas. Obviously filtered for obscenity... but the filter is a bit faulty for non-English languages.
Inside, they have a turbo-amazing version of this. It's mapped onto a photo-realistic globe. The globe floats in space, with an accurate nighttime shadow, and colored fiery particles shoot out of pinpoint geographic locations, representing live query stats.

Well, my sweet Déjà left for Illinois Doberman Rescue this past Saturday, 1/3/09. I HATED to see her go, but I know she will get the best medical treatment for her heartworms there, and will eventually find the perfect home. Melanie, who transported Déjà and a bunch of other dogs, told me that poor Déjà was pathetically howling for most of the trip. My poor girl. I know she loved me just as much as I loved her. Immediately after they left I realized that I had forgotten to send along Déjà’s Cranky Kitty and her rubber doggy that she loved so much! I was SO mad at myself! But I’m making up a care package, which will include her toys and her big juicy bone that she never got to finish while she was here, and will mail it to Pam, Déjà’s new foster mom.
I don’t want to forget little Uno either… he went along on Saturday and is now at Rover Rescue. I got the nicest email from his new foster mom already, letting me know that Uno is doing really well and getting along with her own Labrador retriever.
Déjà started her heartworm treatment yesterday. She’ll require several injections and will have to be kept very calm and quiet afterwards. Of course I’ll update you all once I get some more info from Pam. In the meanwhile, this is just a gentle reminder to please donate to Illinois Doberman Rescue if you can. They are a bunch of wonderful people who do so much for dogs in their area. If you go to the website:
www.ildoberescue.com/displayDogs.php
Scroll down to the “Special Needs” section and you can find Déjà - she’s about ¼ of the way down the page. Then you can help sponsor her by clicking the “Pay Pal” button. I’ve already donated “DoberDuds” for her! I know Pam and everyone at Illinois Doberman Rescue will appreciate any help they can get. You can see they have a lot of dogs that need special care right now!
This is my first scroll based on an authentic illuminated medieval manuscript, painted on cream cardstock to give the appearance of parchment.
I have decided I will try to learn engravings into metal parts too, so here is a sketch I did, inspired by Norwegian art form "rosemaling", trying to learn the scroll work.. I guess this can be very useful when laying gold leaf motives and making designs for leather seats as well.
The engraving tool I´ll look into is the Steve Lindsay Airgraver, but it will cost me at least $2000. It looks awesome and the inspiration is to be able to engrave motorcycle parts as well.. The other day I found a woman living in Telemark, Norway using that equipment, so I found her email and sent her some questions.. within a few days I got a very kind reply where she said, I could feel free to call her if I had more questions, so I called her.. we ended up speaking on the phone for almost two hours and at the end of the conversation she offered me to loan one of her engraving systems to see if I liked it. She didn´t want any kind of deposit or paying for the shipping cost or anything.. that´s what I call good old fashioned trust, and I´m exited like a kid to check this out! :-)
SHOCK! Sweetington actually takes his camera OUTSIDE!! Some shots from my holiday in the Lake District. It seems that even when faced with grand mountain vistas, I am still drawn to the miniature!
This reminds me of my violin.
