I'm about to get back to that long-running name project I want to add a couple more pages before the end of the night.
But first:
The pennants.
Last night I decided this would be my next reasonable NOS project. The name project and illustrated heraldic glossary are going to take a long time to finish and I want something I can DO.
I had a bundle of felt sitting around and decided that with a heavy coat of paint should be able to stand up to Texas wind. Plus touch-ups would be easy.

Got them cut. Next I'll pin and sew them. After that begins the process of painting both sides of each one.
Believe it or not, this isn't enough. It's almost half of what I need to finish this for now - part of the fun is that I can keep adding to it!
But this will cover most of our shire. I may have to leave a couple out until I can get more felt.... I should look in to pricing a full bolt.
Half of those will be painted with our Shire device. The other half will reflect the individual residents of the shire. I will have them alternating on a rope that we can hang when there is an event.
Once I have more material to work with, I will add the rest of the people and the other shires will each get a strand of their own. I can't wait to see it finished!! ^_^
