Shalom, all!

Here are some pictures from today’s writing – there are a few lines left in order to reach today’s quota, but this is the progress thus far.   A friend sent me an interesting question today, asking why the lines of writing, and even some of the constituent strokes of the letters, don’t look perfectly straight in the photos posted.

Under the heat of my drafting lamp and of my arms on the parchment, the parchment wrinkles and warps.  So, in the photos. you are not seeing erratic lines on a flat surface, rather you are seeing straight lines on an erratic surface…

After rolling up the sheet and storing it for a bit, it goes flat once again.
