A “thank you” scarf for my paleobotany supervisor! Took me 2 years to finish but a pandemic will do that.
The illuminated sketchbook of Stephan Schriber is a series of pages dating from 1494 in which “ideas and layouts for illuminated manuscripts were tried out and skills developed” by the author, a monk in the southwest of Germany.
As printed books began to displace illuminated manuscripts, the production of the latter went commercial, no longer produced only by the hands of individual monks. But some of those monks, like Schriber, kept up their dedication to the craft: “These pages show an artist trying out animal motifs, practicing curlicued embellishments, and drafting beautiful presentations of the capital letters that would begin a section, page, or paragraph.”

Anglo-Saxon glass drinking-horn, VII c. Excavated in Rainham, London
Drinking horns are attested from Viking Age Scandinavia. In the Prose Edda, Thor drank from a horn that unbeknown to him contained all the seas. They also feature in Beowulf, and fittings for drinking horns were also found at the Sutton Hoo burial site. Carved horns are mentioned in Guðrúnarkviða II, a poem composed about 1000 AD and preserved in the Poetic Edda:
On the horn’s face were there
All the kin of letters
Cut aright and reddened,
How should I rede them rightly?
The ling-fish long
Of the land of Hadding,
Wheat-ears unshorn,
And wild things inwards.

I have all the stamps I need personally, but this is a great opportunity for new leather workers and it supports a good company.
If I happen to win, I’ll design a stamp for one of you lovely people, use it on a small item of my choice, and add you to the library. That is a $200+ value and usually reserved for Hidden Gem owners and VIP customers.

Pretty Victor for a good start of the day!
I love how YOI mugs turn out but making them is a bit of a pain. All those hair strands … sometimes I feel like giving up before I’ve even started xD
