Information - Project "Coat of Arms Wallhanging for Drachenwald"



My dear gentle Lords and Ladies of Drachenwald,
dear skilled artisans of Drachenwald!
I request your attention for the following Kingdom Project - please take the time to read the project description.
I really hope some of you will consider to join this project - in this case please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
...and again I would like to apologize for the mistake with the Guild newsletter because I wanted to send out the text for the project separately.
________________ ~*~ ________________
At the Guild meeting at University the Guild members decided to start the first (open) Guild Project - "Coat of Arms Wallhanging for Drachenwald" - a project to provide one or more wallhangings, depending on the response and how many patches will be made, that stay with guild members who travel a lot to events and who will take them to events...
I am sure that the project sounds bigger than it is and therefore please read the project participation requirements before you decide not to join because the part for the single member is rather small and easy to manage.
I really hope that many of you want to see the coat of arms of your shire, stronghold, barony and principality as a part of this wallhanging and therefore decide to join this project :)

1st Guild Project - "Coat of Arms Wallhanging for Drachenwald"

- Fabric color: every color allowed
- Embroidery: every technique allowed
- Important restrictions:
-> Only coat of arms of Drachenwald shires, strongholds,...
-> Every person can make several patches but every coat of arms only one time!
(...to avoid a wallhanging only consisting of the coat of arms of three or four shires... but you can also embroider the coat of arms of your neighbor shire or a shire where your friends live...)
- End date: October 2010 (please send in your patches till 1st of October)

This project is open to everyone - you don't need to be a Guild member to join this project.
Every embroidery technique and skill is welcome - please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested!!

PS: There is also the possibility to add a 'Totentanz'/"dead shires" row at the bottom of the wallhanging to remember some shires of the past that once were important for some of you.
________________ ~*~ ________________
I ask everyone who is interested to join this Project to contact me directly: ego@racaire.at
You really don't need to be a good embroiderer, everyone with at least basic embroidery skills is able to make a patch - if you would like to get some help or advise, please don't hesitate to contact me :)
Best regards
