Not a bad idea IMHO. But because they are so cute, inexpensive and easy to get in an SCA context plenty of people are likely to visibly have them that have nothing to do with our happy group.<BR>

The fusile has merit, I think. So does the dye event to make a unique color of fiber stuff to make a fusile with. <BR>

My (mundane) College did something similar. Every class had Amethyst stones in their class rings but the stones for a particular class were all supposedly cut from the same source and so the 1973 rings were all the same but distinct from the 1972 and 1974 and prsumably 2005 rings. Yes it was a small College and, not surprisely women only.<BR>

Thank you for the hat pattern. I think I'll make one in any case. Even though it is far too late for my persona too.<BR>
