A quick jump in from me - something I made earlier! I have submitted a photo of the badge which I made some years ago for our (then) Town Crier which is a copy of the Town's Coat of Arms. I was wondering what subject to choose for my next post (due in August) and, if I can find the progress photos I think I took, this is probably it. When the submission is up on the appropriate Studio page, I'll attach a link here. 🤞

Me too I have one already for this challenge and very appropriate timing as Canada Day was yesterday and there were fire works everywhere........ so I go looking for the picture . Cant find it, well I am not good a labelling pictures and I used to never do it. so So where is it...... I know I will look on the blog. I blogged about it....... yep there's a post about me working on it. feltingandfiberstudio.com/2018/10/02/a-picture-for-exhibition/ and then nothing. I thought I finished it but I can't even find the blog pictures on my computer. I will keep looking on my computer and in the boxes in my studio as I am slowly unpacking. . maybe I will find the actual picture and take a new(and labelled) picture or I will find it unfinished and I will have to finish it.

Well if you didn't finish it you have a challenge piece half-done! If you did finish it I hope you can find the photo - would love to see the sparklies.

Ann B, I added the photo of your badge. Lovely to see the goldwork as that is what I am working on in class. How big is it? Ann M, I don't seem to remember that picture but it looks like it could use some sparkle

Ann - The badge is amazing! Such a variety of work and each one delightful. The goldwork is beautiful and the wheatsheafs are very eye-catching. My Latin is very rusty - what is the meaning on the crest?

Thanks for putting it up here as well as on the Studio Ruth. It's a lot smaller than it appears here. It's about the size of the palm of your hand plus half your fingers!
Thanks Lyn. The motto translation is Who's afeared. It's a very common motto on the arms of local authorities apparently.

Fabulous It sounds pretty big to me. What a lot of detailed work. A great motto, it can change meaning depending on how you say it.

Great work Ann and so appropriate for this challenge! Looking forward to seeing the progress images if you find them. I’ve also got a couple of pieces to fit the brief which I’ve made in the past. They are both based on local views….will look them out.

They are both based on local views….will look them out. Thanks Karen. I've found the photos and am in the process of drafting the post, but first I have to transcribe the Deed of Grant/Letters Patent so that I can get the description of the arms right. I'm going cross eyed trying to read the script from a photograph. At least I'm sort of tuned in with this sort of script. I'm so old that when I first started work in a lawyer's office as a shorthand typist, the firm still employed the man who used to write out the Conveyances and other deeds by hand! Admittedly by then he was mainly filing or copying (by hand) plans for deeds typed on a manual typewriter. But old deeds did, and still do, fascinate me. The oldest deed I have had to deal with during a conveyancing transaction was a Lease which dated back to Queen Anne's reign. 🤔

Old documents are fascinating Ann - was the handwriting difficult to read from the beginning of the 18th century lease?

Old documents are fascinating Ann - was the handwriting difficult to read from the beginning of the 18th century lease? Not really. though you sometimes had to allow for the use of the old fashioned tall s that usually looked like a long thin f, and of course the deeds were very wordy. (I think that's where the Americans got it from - did you know that "gotten" is an old English word, that we gave up using but is still used in America? The origins of the differences in our two Englishes are quite fascinating - and funny sometimes.) 😜The writing tended to be the same regardless of who was doing it. I think when people were taught to write they were all given the same basic letters and had to copy them exactly. It certainly was still the case when I was at school. At my junior school I had to learn Marion Richardson writing, and woe betide anyone who tried to do their own thing! 🤦♀️
