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?

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).
