Delving into the Past

My degree is in Anthropology of all things.  I fell in love with research and archival studies.   I have made the decision to spend some time researching Polish Archaeology.   The field of Archaeology is quite popular in Poland, sending may teams to Egypt and the Mediterranean. Work in Poland itself is plentiful but many of the articles are in Polish or not available online.

There is my quest.  

I have found a path and I hope to bring to light to a land that is misunderstood.  So if you my nose in a book and I am deep in thought, that is why.

Writ

I was honored to be in on a secret.  A dear friend received her Writ to the Order of the Pelican.

Words  by Baroness Ekaterina Volkova
Calligraphy by me

Miniatum ink was used for the guilding

Post Ice Dragon AS 51

AKA the sinus infection from hell.  Always seems to happen.

But let me bring you up to speed.

1) I made art
2) I herald now when needed
3) my term as Backlog Deputy is done (5 years)
4) My daughter is now also my Belt Sister

So here is some art I did and I'll leave it at that.  More to come on a new technique in Calligraphy I am trying.
