femkes_folliesAlways both a challenge and a thrill.
As I've been digging for exemplars, I find that there is significant difference between "paleoslavic" and "Church Slavic." So I've run up an exemplar of Paleo-Slavic for the characters I need. There are no differences between large and small letter forms other than size, so I didn't run up a second exemplar. And of course, I forgot my lining guide, so I'm using plain copy paper.
Therefore, noting that hairlines will be crisper, ink blobs less frequent, and lines narrower and straighter on paper that is more highly sized, I give you attempt 1:
I may yet get to an exemplar of Church Slavic today. I won't monkey with caps and smalls until I have the right paper.
THEN I'll try them both in gold ink. THEN I'll make Master Mordak pick one. *g*
