Ooooh! Must.Have.One! Cheap, too. Hmm...

I'd love to make you one, 'Lainie. Unfortunately, I have trouble  
doing nice 3-dimensional figures, especially in the inverted  
perspective needed for soapstone molds. We'll see.

At one time the Rialto, the rec.org.sca newsgroup, wanted a symbol  
that would fit in with a medieval feel yet still identify folks as  
members of the list so we could recognize each other. They settled on  
a piece of fish netting.

Would there be any interest in such a pewter pilgrim badge for the  
SCA-Cooks list? And if so, what suggestions would you have for such a  
symbol. The simpler it is, the easier it will be to produce. At  
almost two inches in size, I think the flying pig from fettered cock  
is a bit large. I could make them with a ring at the top to place on  
a cord or sew to a hat, or leave the back smooth and epoxy on a  
modern pin. While you can make the pin out of pewter with a 3-part  
mold, the metal fatigues and the pin breaks off rather easily.
