A friend of mine runs a shop, and has been experiencing some of the ups and downs of the current economy. We tried doing some magical work to keep her shop running a while ago, using the energies of Jupiter — bringer of generosity. The earlier work was some Jupiter sigils attached to a fountain; that worked surprisingly well. But, then the fountain broke; the parts to the fountain have been sitting in a back room of her shop for a while.
So, last Thursday I started this scroll of the Orphic Hymn to Jupiter. I finished it last night, and gave it to her this morning — charged with Jovian, Solar and Lunar energies. For my first major piece of "calligraphy" (with a Sharpie pen!), I think it turned out rather well. Jupiter's face is a little off-balance and crazy, but on the whole it turned out pretty well.
I didn't use the traditional "medieval" page-layout that I've been experimenting with for this particular page, but there is an underlying geometry behind it, particularly on the illumination in the lower-right. All in all, it obeys Henry Cornelius Agrippa's model of the three-fold virtues.

I used scroll saw to make this scalloped-edge bowl. I still haven't decided what kind of finishing I want to apply.
This is the scroll that was presented for my Award of Arms. The shield is where my Arms will go, once I get them approved.

It was at this stage, when I had figured out that I had enough room on the paper that I got word that my Highnesses would prefer to just have their first names on the scroll. I wasn't told I could use Khan and Khatune though, even though a "K" in this script looked fun.

I would say that the movement of scrolling through my Twitter timeline is movement through time. As you scroll down, you see tweets from the past and as you go further up, there are tweets that are more recent. This was a simple composition— I just wanted to capture my phone screen in its entirety. I made my shutter speed very slow for this image. I made sure to scroll with my thumb and then reposition my thumb so that it was static against the moving phone screen. It took me a few shots, but I was successful!

This scroll was based on the French "De vita Caesarum " from the early 16th Century. www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?S..., www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?S... and on the Myrgan Wood heraldry myrganwood.org/ as they were just stepping down from serving as Baron and Baroness.
Whether to swipe, scroll or type, the way we use our hands is evolving. Yet the desire to keep restless fingers busy is nothing new. From using tools, to communication, comfort and care, our hands allow us to make connections and manipulate the world around us. At this Friday Late, visitors questioned the ritual of handshaking, explored the language of hands through dance, and used emoji gestures to decode the narrative of paintings; they explored the future of prosthetic hand design, helped their fingers cope with smartphone withdrawal, and used embroidery to consider the hand’s symbolic status.

Took part in last years one and managed to get into this years at the last minute (thank you Peter for the reminder!).
Beautiful day, great ride into the city on the scooter and then spent a couple of hours wandering around Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, QUT, the Old Government House, Parliamentary Annexe and the Parliament taking pics.
Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
