Links to Scrolls Elsewhere on the Web
Completed scrolls can be viewed at scribe.ansteorra.org under the Artist Gallery. Search for Prudence the Curious; she appears alone and with a collaborator, Mistress (Lady at the time I worked with her) Katarzyna Nicholaieva. When doing teamwork, Prudence the Curious is responsible for the scroll research, design, wording, and calligraphy, and her collaborators implement the illumination.
Some Ansteorran charter examples (where only painting needs to be done on preprinted forms) can also be found under the Charter Library. Prudence’s contributions to charter examples can be found int: Arc d’Or, the Sable Crane, and the Sable Falcon.
