Which heraldic thing this weekend?  Scroll painting class is Sunday 
and commenting is July 8 I thought.  Am I wrong on the commenting 
date?

Also, very short and not 100% accurate version -- arms or a device 
are the physical representation of the owner.  They would go where 
the owner goes and should never be carried by anyone other than the 
owner or the owner's herald (who theoretically only wears the arms 
when speaking in the owner's name).  A badge is a mark that you might 
place on something to denote ownership or membership.  Fighters might 
wear a badge to show membership in the barony but would not wear the 
arms unless they are claiming to be the baron/ess.  You could also 
mark property with your badge.  You would paint your badge on your 
tent to show that the tent belongs to you but you would not paint 
your arms because you might loan it out to someone else and they are 
not you.

>a voided star, is like a line drawing with ribbon??  just a outline, 
>with the inside hollow?   Is this a 10 pointed star??

Yes, voided is an outline of the shape.  And yes, in our case, the 
star is a standard Ansteorran Star (five big points in the usual 
shape and five smaller points in between the big ones).
