[Ravensfort] Banner Making

[Sher M]

We need a gif (or similar) of what should be on the banners, pennons, etc.  Do we have a Kingdom and/or Baronial level Populace "Badge"?  If we do can someone either point me in the right direction online or email me a copy?

How to display the various banners, pennons, etc:  http://dragon_azure.tripod.com/UoA/ArmorialDisplay.html

That's enough links for now.  At the Business Meeting a tentative Banner Making time was set up.  It will be AFTER the work day at The Stones on August 1, 2009 at Tarejia & Runa's shop.  Normally work days have ended about noon as after that workers are subject to massive heat related problems (especially those of us taking meds that say "STAY OUT OF THE SUN").  If you wish you can hose off in the yard, stand in front of the misting fans (yes those wonderful fans that were at 30th) or clean up before you head to the shop.

If you want a banner then you will need at least 1/2 yard of poly-cotton fabric (inexpensive) that is 60 inches wide.  Wash it and dry it to remove any sizing in the fabric otherwise paint won't stick.  If you plan to applique then all fabrics used must be washed and dried to remove sizing and shrink the fabric before sewing.  You will need white paint and black paint if you have red fabric.  Unless you plan on making a zillion banners the smaller bottles of fabric paint are sufficient.  Also a chisel edged paint brush (artist type not house painter type).

The 18 in x 60 in fabric will allow you to have a banner approximately 17 in by however long you make it (if 2 sided then you're limited to 17x36 or so).
