I ran across a graphic of the Ansteorran Achievement in my Signet files, that was created some 15
years ago by Mistress Alisandre Oliphant.  It's a black and white line drawing.  I don't know if
it's still current, but it could be checked.  Right now it's on paper from an old newsletter, but
can be scanned. Alisandre rarely plays, but she and Jan from Bjornsborg do keep contact with 
fellow Bjornsborg'ers, so we could find her if needing permission to put online.  

I particularly enjoyed Alisandre's achievement as it incorporated elements of Ansteorran awards;
it included the White Scarf on the Crane's wing, and had a Star of Merit garter on the Lion's leg,
and there was an Iris rainbow in the image somewhere as well, perhaps the Comet too.  I don't know
if those additional award elements are legal for the Ansteorran achievement, but it was cool.    

A few years ago an issue occurred when an artisan got hold of Alisandre's Achievement image and
proceeded to make changes to it, updating it for new elements.  Alisandre found out after the
changes were made, perhaps it was published.  I don't know how the issue was resolved, maybe 
Alisandre was included as a collaborative artist in the credits.  

Remember that original artwork is the property of the artisan who created and while granted for
use by Ansteorra, by permission form or intent, the artwork CANNOT be changed or updated unless
permission is granted or the artisan themselves does the updates.  If you don't know who the
artisan is that did the original work, ask - we will try to find out or our files may have their
permission form allowing changes.
