On July 6, we had a champions tournament in the Barony of Iron Bog.
This is the scroll that I made for the rapier champ. It was made on pergamenata with Winsor & Newton, Holbein, and Greenleaf and Blueberry gouache and watercolors. Ink is by Calli.
I picked these sources for the rattan and rapier champ scrolls because I wanted them to be similar. I haven't done an Italian White Vine in a while and these are fun to do.
Source and words are below as well.

Words by Montgomery Josh:
Daggers, bucklers, and cloaks are some of the tools we use in Rapier Combat. But these are not what makes an Iron Bog Champion. These tools must be wielded using a patient heart fueled by perseverance and determination. And in our court, just a bit of flair and style. For today many have fought within our champions list and among all of them, one demonstrated superior prowess. With joy and admiration, we, Baron Andre and Baroness Genevera of Iron Bog, have a new champion before us. Therefore, at this Baronial Fencing Championship AS 59, we name <<TBD>> as our Fencing Champion.
