There's the option of using heraldry that isn't 
registered yet, as Timothy described.  Design your 
device, submit it, make a banner.  We used to joke that 
by the time it passed or failed, your first banner or 
shield would be worn out anyway.

Otherwise, Allessandra's suggestion of using someone 
else's registered heraldry (if you feel like making gifts 
for someone you love), or use the branch's heraldry.  
Elfsea and its Canton could all stand _even more_ 
heraldic stuff.  Contact me privately for my wishlist, if 
you're interested.

Or you can make yourself things using "public" heraldry, 
such as the kingdom badge (a black star on a gold field 
inside a black border) or the Elfsea city ensign (the 
shell and embattled base counterchanged blue & white you 
can so readily find on the website at <elfsea.org>).  Any 
one may tastefully display these badges.  Likewise, the 
cantons have badges you could use; Padraig fought in the 
Gulf War carrying a shield with the Loch Ruadh badge on 
it, as any Loch Ruadh fighter could do.

So thanks to you and everyone for your enthusiasm, I'm 
very encouraged.
