Cool huh?
Made it myself. I wanted to use a gold lame' type of cloth, but Walmart is evil, but i didnt want to travel across town to Micheals. My next banner project is this:

This is a pic of my ARMS that a fellow member of the American Heraldry Society posted in their forum. I plan to recreate a version of that in the future

Nice work. 
That must be some time-consuming stuff, I'd say.

Thanx.
Yes it was. It took me almost a week. I cut the charges (items) out very carefully. The hardest part was the fraying of the edges, but that was remedied with a sticky tape backing. I still have to go back to walmart and get some gold cord and some tassels to complete it. I was going to have one professionally made for 175.00, but since this turned out pretty well, I decided against it. All through the making of this, I was worried that I woud seriously screw up, but aside from some small un noticable mistakes, it looks awesome.

It looks better than the original! (graphic version, I mean)
Good work! I've always admired your enthusiasm to dive into a project whenever you're inspired by a conversation or a thread here.

Thanx Boyo
The COA thread did inspire me to seek out my familys origin, create my own COA, and also learn that coats of arms "sold" or distributed on the net, are usually stolen from a person. Scotland actually is the only country which has strict laws against that. The heraldry society is a great learning source, and the people there are so cool.
