Project One: An Esther Scroll

I am taking a small break from my other projects/ideas (garden, Song of Songs, aloe plant, wombs... see link http://www.leahcaroline.com/new-work-august-2011-may-2012.html ) and making something in honor of my daughter Esther's Bat Mitzvah.  She is named after Queen Esther from the Book of Esther, which is traditionally read from a scroll on the holiday of Purim.  I plan to make something that is at least "scroll-like" (relatively long and narrow) with the text of her Bat Mitzvah speech and maybe portions of the Megilla (Book of Esther, or Esther Scroll).  The Braginsky collection (see link below) is someone's personal collection of old illuminated manuscripts digitally recorded in incredible detail.  It is a real inspiration.
