Along the River during Qingming Festival
Twenty-eight boats and ships are depicted on the river, which meanders through the entire length of the scroll.
Ethiopic scroll dated to the 19th century. It contains a figurative depiction of the Trinity and an image of God or Jesus surrounded by the heads of Angels. The text itself is a collection of prayers against evil influences, such as the ‘evil eye’ and is written in Ge’ez script.

This exercise is meant to expand the thinking about guidelines even in Photoshop and therefore CorelDraw because of the sophisticated layers, sublayers and the dedicated guidelines in CorelDraw. It's always sad to see how much software is written without the study or even regard of others' applications. I don't use CorelDraw that much but every once in a while it is absolutely necessary to do some prep illustration in Corel and then drop a tiff into a Photoshop layer because of the extensive time element that can be trivialized in Corel.
The subject of the lesson is generating a paper scroll that can have text applied later. The concept was invented by a glassblower I know, James P. Clarke, Here is something like what I helped him with. It is a good carrier for a discussion of more sophisticated guidelines or even cheating guidelines:
The Scroll, Corel file is a demonstration of setting up advanced guidelines on the dedicated Guidelines layer in Corel. All objects applied to that dedicated layer will assume the assigned color and simple lines will assume the snap properties. The scroll guides were generated on a separate layer and then moved and dropped onto and become a sub-object on Corels Guidelines layer. Otherwise, create your own Guidelines layer in Photoshop.
Use the guideline scroll to develop your own paper object, color, texturize and antique it, like in the Scroll file.
The Scroll, Corel file shows the results of adding a text block, then an Envelope object to the text block and adding nodes to stretch and warp the enveloped text block. It is difficult to get the text to lay out realistically otherwise but you can handle it however you want.
I had trouble with tension with this one - the sample was in the hoop so I could photograph it! I did not stitch it in the hoop. I found that I also need to be consistent in the direction I pull the thread when making the knot.
Row 1: Pearl No 5 - across 6 threads and back 2 diagonally.
Row 2: Pearl No 5 - across 4 and back 2 diagonally
Row 3: Pearl No 5 - 3 and 2 diag.
Row 4: Pearl No 3 - 4 and 2 diag
Row 5: Ribbon floss - 6 and 2 diag
Row 6: Ribbon floss - 3 and 2 diag
Row 7: Some fat cotton - 5 and 2 diag
Row 8: Pearl No 5 - zig zag scroll - I tried this in some rayon and ribbon floss and it was not successful. To me it is barely successful in Pearl thread. If I want a zig zag line in the future, I will not use this stitch.
Row 9: Pearl No 5 - stacked rows
Row 10: Pearl No 3 - two rows back to back - across 5 and back 2 diag
Row 11: Some rayon thread - a row of two scroll units stacked
Row 12: Pearl No 3 - across 5 and a 2 thread vertical pick up .
Row 13: Pearl No 3 - alternating the vertical pick-up above and below the line.
Row 14: Pearl No 3 - an experiment inspired by this piece by Elizabeth of Quieter Moments. There are some French knots.

This is an artwork I did 18 years ago. It's watercolour on an entire checkout paper roll. I was fascinated (and still am) by drawing as pure creative output and spent a month or so painting this pretty much random abstraction. I had it set up so that viewers could wind it by hand from one reel to another, this reel is all that's left. I've been meaning to scan it all in and make a flash based carousel but working out just how to scan it easily is proving difficult.

Scroll of a 5 string violin that is currently on my workbench. The wood is Imbuia, a wonderful tone wood and has a powerful sound.

For the Non SCA person who cooked us some fabulous meals two years in a row. This is the only picture I took of it. What was I thinking?

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.

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..
