Well, someone's done it... Anyway, I thought I'd pass on the URL so that you could all drool over it. Of special interest is the fact that Christopher de Hamel wrote the auction description for it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=850034668 I wonder what *our* work will be worth in, say, 600 years ;-) Thomas P.S. I bought 6 leaves from this seller a while ago and the transaction went smoothly. If you have the extra cash lying around, their manuscript leaves are quite nice.

The layers of the paint made the pen not want to do a perfect circle, anyone have any tricks for outlining circles so the come out looking like good circles and not like a 3rd graders attempt at a circle. Do I need to get a special compass with an attachment for a Rapiodiograph? Did any of my rambliings make any sense? I don't want to ruin another scroll.
