<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings unto the heralds of Ansteorra, and
HEEEEELLLP from one Lord Stephen Macthomas:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's now official, I have completely lost count of
how many times I've had badge submissions returned by either Kingdom or Laurel,
and I've spent months poring over the PicDic trying to fuel my creative juices,
which, I'm embarrassed to admit, are completely dry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I thought I'd have a little fun with the heralds
of the Kingdom and turn loose this rather open-ended request for a badge
idea. I'm not terribly picky, but I do have some idea of what I want it to
be like: I want it to be fieldless, easy to draw for the artistically
pathetic (i.e. me - lots of straight lines and such) and rather unique.
I'd also like something that would have been historically accurate for early
Tudor England if possible and not just registerable according to the
RfS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would greatly prefer replies to be sent directly
to me at <A href="mailto:macthomas@ev1.net">macthomas@ev1.net</A>. Oh, did
I mention there was chocolate in the bargain? <grin></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In service to Crown and College,</FONT></DIV>
