Portfolio of Work by Linda,
known in the SCA as Halima al-Rakkasa
Book arts covers everything from calligraphy and gilding to the making of an actual book. I work extremely low on the technology scale; there is something special about getting that close to your work that cannot be adequately explained. I am especially pleased with the Raven's Cry and The Fragment, below. For those interested in using the same paints as I have, there is a source in the notebook for you to check out.
