Queen’s Grace #2 (technically the 3rd, since I received the first one but did not make the scroll) for the 4th reign of HRM Elizabeth has been given out.  There was a little mishap with the cleaning of the flux, which caused some of the ink to run.  Luckily it was just the lettering and not the artwork.  The woman who is making the stained glass boxes is working on a new approach to cleaning the flux off and protecting the scroll.

As I progress, I try to throw in something new or improve upon my technique.  With this in mind, the final scroll (The Commander of the Queen’s Grace) should be the best piece out of all of them.  In some cases also try to match the scroll to the person receiving it; whether it be their arms colours, favorite colours, personal heraldry or something that clearly identifies it with that person.
