[ANSTHRLD] Insignia samples on the Scribes website

[Christoforo]

Hillary, 

Very cool, however you need to revise the description for my thistle. It
was made of nickel silver and brass. 

Also I am tacking in an Image of one of the talons I did. 

Thanks,
Christoforo

Greetings Ansteorra, 
  I'm pleased to announce the unveiling of the new 'Insignia' page on
Ansteorra Scribes website.  This new educational tool has been a
work-in-progress for some months, and it's a great addition to the
Ansteorran online pages.  
  Check it out at:  http://scribe.ansteorra.org/ 
  Select the menu item 'Insignia'.  
   
  Ansteorran artisans can use this page as a tool for identifying
insignia badges and proper usages; along with examples of good insignia
by various artisans of Ansteorra. Check the pages periodically, as we
add more images.   
   
  Be aware that in some cases the 'badge' of the award is not the same
as the 'insignia' of the award.  For example, the badge of an
Iris-of-Merit is shown in a circle, with a rainbow over a black star,
However, the insignia is A RIBBON of rainbow colors worn on the left
shoulder.   Quite different.  Typically, the badge is what's shown on
the award scroll, the insignia is what is worn.
   
  Special note - there are two two insignia that regularly have
mistakes:
  * Sable Thistle - Ansteorra does NOT use the design of the Scottish
Thistle, designed as a ball with dovetail on top, one set of leaves.
The Ansteorran Thistle is designed uniquely as an oval with two sets of
leaves.  
  * Sable Crane - the bird is holding a tiny 10-point Black Star, most
forget the black star.  
   
  If artisans of Ansteorra have questions on insignia designs, materials
or techniques for making Ansteorran Insignia, please contact the
Insignia deputy, HL John Lightfoot at:  Insignia
<insignia at ansteorra.org>.
   
  Under the Education menu, you will find an article on Ansteorran
Insignia, by Mistress Stella Silvana, feel free to read it at: 
  http://scribe.ansteorra.org/resources/ansteorranawardinsignia.pdf
   
  Many thanks for all the hardwork on developing this new insignia page,
to Lady Zubeydah Jamilla al_Badawiyya, Northkeep, Vscribe for the
Ansteorra Scribal Website.   Vivat!
   
  Regards, Hillary Greenslade, Star Signet
