The Scrolling comes straight from the inspiration material (www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?S...) but because I wanted to show places as well as items I stole the rondel idea from other period peices.
Using an mbed.org microcontroller with a simple black and green LCD (which I soldered a pin strip to so I could affix to breadboard), this is a simple demo of how you can run 16 character scrolling text.
A scroll card designed in the form of a Royal Letter, this card has a single sheet stuck around golden design bars, the sheet has a multi-colored image showing a traditional Mughal period mehrab and Jharokha. This comes in a multicolored box, which holds the card and a loose 3-fold insert to print on additional text.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1947 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. They were specifically located at Khirbet Qumran in what was then the British Mandate for Palestine, now the West Bank.

This was the first of my Iraq War scrolls, crafted with a flashlight held between my teeth amid incoming mortar fire. I couldn't find a stopping point..

My grandfathers violin/fiddle. It had belonged to my great grandfather, until his death. It hasnt been played in 40 years or so. It was dated from 1597, made in germany. I did a little research on it, and found that its maker had died of the plague in the 1620's. However it is likely that this is a replica made in the mid 1800's. It would have to be examined by a proffesional to confirm its actual origin. All I can say for sure, is that has been in my family for at least 90 years, and played many a hoe down in its day!
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).

Iron Flowers
sluggish, semi-stagnant
the water in Haitian gutters,
small gullets, trickles green,
sewerage green, here even
the dirt is poor and
there is a cloying dullness
camouflaging even strongly
persistent colors
in squared, white walled
cemeteries
funeral flowers are made of
painted iron/ i see no roses
rising through this Port
Au Prince poverty
i hesitate to take pictures
it is like thievery
almost like
i am stealing precious light
that these, my brothers and sister,
need to live
by Kalam Salaam
I think this is all carved from a single block of marble. Amazing how the "paper" top is made to following the contours of the stone beneath.
