So earcmacfithil and I went to our friend Bridgit's yesterday afternoon and this afternoon to silk paint our banners. My banner is completely done and his isn't even finnished resisted. My arms are far more complicated than his arms. But he decided he wanted to show the example of what we heralds always tell our clients: submit the arms in the clasic English heraldic style and display them after they pass however you wish as long as they are still recognizeablly the blazon. So earcmacfithil decided to do his banner in the Pacific Northwest Native American style. When both banners are finished I'll post pictures.


This brings me to a question for my flist. Do any of you live anywhere near Darbyshire? I have a friend who would really like some digital pictures of a document in the Darbyshire hall of records so if you live near there, could you contact me through my email on my profile. I'd greatly appriciate it.

Sounds like a fun project.

It was. The other fun thing is that he decied his banner had to be huge. So I made mine the same size. They will probably be bigger than the An Tir King's banner.

Did you mean Derbyshire in the UK? I don't live near it - but if that is where you mean the Country Records Office has a website - your friend might be able to ask for a member of staff to copy the document for her.

I'm pretty sure she said Darbyshire but I'll ask. I is some journal dating to the mid 1400's that has eight dances with name, steps, and music all written togeather. We'd like to get some orignal documentation for the dances.

Ah - if you only heard it, rather than saw it, it will be Derbyshire - it is pronounced as if it had an A not an E. The vagueries of English!

You're right, it is Derbyshire. She has already tried that email and they were unwilling to take the digital photos for my friend.

What a pity. Maybe she could look online for a local history society - a member might be willing to do it for her. Or a re-enactment society maybe. Someone like The Sealed Knot - although they are a somewhat different period - but the right sort of people.
