Name: THL Gwenhwfyr of Wyvernwoode
MKA: Jennifer Kanter
About the artist: Gwenhwfyr is a 6th century Welsh
lady who obviously has no love of vowels. Gwenhwfyr's
penchant for Classical Rome occasionally shines
through in her choice of clothing, although her
contemporaries think her quite antiquated. Though she
prefers the "new-fangled" Celtic illumination style she is
open to ideas from those barbarians on the Continent
(even those pesky Spaniards with their funny-eyed
painted people) . When she is not busy scribing, she is
often found cheer leading others into service (so that
she can remain at rest) and just generally being a
"helper monkey". Other interests include bead making,
jewelry making, sewing, weaving, wire weaving,
embroidery, cooking, and anything else she can be
wrangled into by her friends.
Specialties:
Calligraphy - Uncial and Insular Miniscule
Illumination - Knotwork, Simple vine patterns
