academie: Heraldry Update

[Edvard Gayer]

Oh dear, I wasn't serious!  I was going to take the badge, convert it to a 
cross-stitch pattern, and see if I could make my own baldric this weekend 
like the herald's baldric I already have.  I was figuring on making it blue 
(the specific shade to match the color of the Aida cloth I use) with white 
edging.  I do not know what the threadcount of the Aida cloth will be (which 
I will have to get tonight from the craft store) but I'm expecting it will 
be 18 (which will drive the size of the pattern).  I will need to take a 
long, hard look at my heraldic baldric to remind myself how I did that one 
before starting on a dance baldric.

Victoria, I have very little experience with the type of embroidery you 
do... what is the "prep/finish work" you're talking about?  When you're 
offering to do the machine embroidery, are you talking specifically about 
embroidering the badge itself so that I may be attached onto something, or 
perhaps are you talking about first having a baldric, and THEN embroidering 
the badge onto it?  I'm so confused!  :)

>From a baldric-count perspective, I think we only technically require one 
baldric for the Symposium -- that to be worn by the dance master/mistress 
during the evening's Ball.  If we had multiple, they could be worn in class 
by whomever was teaching that particular course.  Considering that we are 
looking at three tracks of classes, I would think that having three baldrics 
would cover all of our bases for right now.  Ultimately, everyone who will 
be running a practice, teaching a class, or running a Ball will want a 
baldric of their own, but for the Symposium, one is great, and three is 
fantastically great.  More than three is overkill.

I know I'm going to kick myself for this but.......  As long as someone else
does all the prep. and finishing work I can embroider a reasonable number of
baldrics.  These will be machine embroidered but if that doesn't offend
anyone I'll see what I can do.

Speaking of the Symposium, who is planning on attending? and does everyone
who's attending have crash space worked out?
