After a week or two of doing some practice writing, to get in the swing of things, I have finally started working on the megillah! Very scary. Megilliat Esther is 20 pages worth of writing. And each page has 21 lines of writing. That means I have 24 weeks to do it, which means I have to do about 2-3 lines per day. Oy. So far I’ve got 3. The writing above is the actual writing, and the writing below is the photocopied version of the text that I’m copying from.
Also, here is a photo of the quill that I use.
It’s a goose feather that I’ve cut using some seriously sharp surgical knives
Very ancient technology.
