[Namron] Badges for the Children

[sandra goodrich]

This is becomming much harder and involved than it needs to be... The badges we have been using are simple felt roundels, the emblems are simple line drawings and words that can be applied with fabric paints that come in the bottles with the writing tip, sigh... Felt is period, paint is period, painting on fabric is used in some form pretty much throughout period... Ms Adria has sheets with all the line drawings currently in use for the class types... They are generally used as needed and extra's saved for later... :-)...'Stacia

What are we trying to teach our kids, how things were done in the middle ages or how they are done in our modern world? Would not hand embroidered badges be better? Think of the message being sent to our children.
