This is another one of those projects that just started coming together, and took off, and I was just along for the ride. I got the idea that a scroll might be a cool accessory for a House of Seasons character. I'm not even sure which one at this point because it immediately made sense that almost all of the House of Seasons characters would use and carry scrolls.
I pretty much had everything I needed already around the house. Wooden dowels, wood stain, a nice stiff textured resume paper, some leather cord, and some tiny metal crests I picked up in the scrapbook section of the craft store. I did the writing with a rubber stamp I picked up, that I thought looked perfect. Might just knock out a bunch more soon for background props or just future figures.
A few days later, I ran into this person's work online, and this tutorial on making scrolls that kinda blew anything I was doing away. Just gorgeous. So now I'm taking a few ideas from what they did, and upping my game for round 2.
