<DIV><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>Plachoya, Brian, Alaric arrived with chainsaws in
hand. Pace, Giovanna, Rosalia, Tarajia, and Michelle (sp?) manned, err
make that manned and womaned the cut up logs and branches. They were
loaded into Brian's truck and either hauled to the burn pile or stacked for
future firewood. DSD rode the roaring dragon and bullied bush & logs
into the burn pile. Myself... I tried to stay out of their way and to
refrain from getting hurt as I usually do. We had a visitor with his young
son... HELP! I can't remember his name. Okay so I'm old and I have
brain farts from time to time. A great deal of work was
accomplished. The two new wooden sided stalls were marked and the poles
will be set on Sunday thanks to DSD's wonderful dragon with its auger
tooth.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>Later some of us removed ourselves to Bedlam
Bazaar for Banner/Pennon making. Giovanna straightened one of her pieces
of fabric and with a little finagling she got 3 pennons cut out. She also
got the white (i.e. silver) plate painted onto them. She left with a raven
design to trace onto the plates. Her pennons will have one painted side
and the other side plain. The sample pennon was completed and given to our
Baron to carry into battle (or to smack someone with). Angelia (sp?-never
said I could spell) cut out a stencil for future use. Amelia was given
some pennon shaped fabric to create pennons for Brian to carry into
battle. A friend of mine of 36 years came to the shop, Faye B., she
explained the various ways to transfer designs to fabric for painting,
stenciling and so forth.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>Mike Gamber (new site Land Owner) came with VNV
in tow. He and I discussed the ways to appliqué designs onto banners and
pennons. Apparently his Lady Wife is extremely well versed in the art of
appliqué. Note to Mike: I will find the reverse appliqué link for
her and send it to you.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>For those wishing the information I will make
copies of a handout I got from the Collegium and bring to Populace. It
explains the differences between banners, pennons, etc. If you are making
your pennons/banners at home PLEASE remember if you are putting the plate and
raven on both sides to remember that the Raven ALWAYS (at least on ours) has his
beak to the right.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>If desired we can setup another weekend to do
banners and pennons, or even a weekday for those who work weekends.
