Projects and Handouts by Jadwiga Radomyskowa

Welcome to my little corner of Athenaeum! I am Jadwiga Radomyskowa, my home is in the Shire of Thornwold where I run the Thornwold Scriptorium, a group of amazing painters, illuminators, calligraphers and wordsmiths who put their talents towards making Scribal art for the Kingdom of An Tir and Beyond! In my Scriptorium, I try to encourage people to learn as much as possible, and where I am not able to teach I try to bring in people to share their knowledge and talents and as my scribes become more proficient in their paths, I encourage them, in turn, teach others!
In the 8 years that I have been in An Tir I have created a variety of scrolls, charters, as well as taught many classes as well as made handouts and videos. Please take a look at this page to see a selection of them!

I am in fealty to Master Guidobaldo Marco Odo Romeo d’Aquila.


Original Works

This is a small collection of original art that I have done over the years. In all cases, the words and calligraphy are not done by me, and are penned by those with far more talent than I.

Handouts

Here are handouts that I have created for classes I have given!

The make and use of period pigments.

Guide book on how to create scrolls and charters for use in the Kingdom of An Tir!

This handout covers flat and raised gilding, how to do it in a couple different ways, as well as how to make the various materials you need. It will also cover where to get them.

Videos

In these unprecedented times, I have taken to recording myself doing scribal works. The first three are speedpaints, which is to say they are time-lapses videos of me creating art. The rest are instructional and conversational. These were all filmed live, and include commentary with the people watching them.

My newest video! This is the scroll I did for Vikingr’s Knighting last weekend at Tir Righ Investiture. This scroll took the better part of a month to do. It was painted using mostly period pigments in sea shells, as well as Sumi gold, and a modern brush pen for the final inking. Interesting fact, there are only five colors on this scroll: Ultramarine Blue Imitation Cadmium Red Aluminum Powder Silver Sumi Gold Titanium White Also, yes you will see the kitten popping up quite a bit. His name is Kovash and he is 10 weeks old.

Sir Einar’s Tourney Shield

This project took up the first part of the quarantine and was one of the most challenging things I’ve done in a while. My Knight, Sir Einarr tasked me painting his tourney shield with something that represented how I saw him. (Yes, he will be fighting with this.) So…over-inspired, and maybe over-ambitious, I set on this project. Based on an image by one of my favorite artists of all time, Ivan Bilibin, and the iconography of St. George I came up with this. It is gilded and full of little references about my fealty to one of the greatest people I have had the pleasure of getting to know. I hope my love and respect for this man shows…

The End.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my little page. I know it’s a lot of miscellaneous things, but it’s hard for me to choose just one, and I hope that this shows a variety of my talents, the ways in which I endeavor to help out the scribal community of my Kingdom, and the love I have for all the people that I work with.

Please feel free to reach out to me with more questions, if you want to chat, and I am always happy to teach classes, (on-line right now) about any subject that I know, either one-on-one or to a group.

Yours in humble service,

Jadwiga

  1. HOLY mackerel, your work is just so stunning, your eye for color and balance is AMAZING. Also your drawing ability is something I am forever jealous of. 😛 I am so lucky to know you and share such a cool hobby with you. Thank you for sharing your talent with me and so many others.

  2. Astounding! What an fantastic display of your amazing skills and passion. I look forward to watching the videos. Well done!

  3. It is always a pleasure to see your works presented! I love the medieval aesthetic you achieve, and the effort and detail you put into each scroll. I treasure the ones you’ve made of mine, and any chance I have had to present your work I have been extremely blessed.

  4. Great work – I wish you’d take a few of these items and talk in detail about the originals you used for inspiration, techniques, etc. Walk us through a project and why you did what you did.

  5. Your work is SO lovely and amazing. I always enjoy how important and centered teaching is in your space. The tiny scroll made in an hour is amazing. I will admit one of my favorite scrolls is a tiny scrap of paper, much like this. Honestly, I “grew up” in the East Kingdom (which doesn’t have seals) and the range of scroll sizes was much wider… I love small scrolls.

  6. Lovely work! You have a really impressive range in style and design. I would be very interested in chatting with you about your process and discussing how you take the work from the source images to the final work!

  7. This is impressive as well as beautiful collection. Thank you for displaying so much of your work, so that we can see it. You do great work.
