Cool. Also check out flag and banner stores for the accessories Steve. Around here in Colorado there are plenty and they carry all sorts of accessories.
I found this great diapering in Andrew Jameson’s Coats of Arms, p. 24

Almost finished. I just need to get some gold cord to match the fringe. I used a dowel, of course for the pole thingy, and since walmart didnt have any end caps, i used Tiny wooden flower pots. they worked just as well.
I know the pic is of low quality. i think it turned out rather well.
Excellent work!! Of course we’ll need to see better quality jpgs.

The way I understand it is you don’t add diapered to the blazon. It is more of an artistic treatment. For instance look at the two images of my arms below. The one on the left is not diapered while the two on the right are. Same blazon, one is diapered with a textured look and the other is diapered more like pinstriping. I’ve also seen diapering that took the form of the main charge on the shield but was done so small and close to the field color it was hard to make out from a distance. Up close it looked very classy.

Thrilled you like it! I was actually a bit afraid you’d be offended!
I’ll save the files I made to create this in case you ever need them in the future.
Offended??? Moi??? *Insane Laugh* Shirley you jest!!!
I love it! About the files, that’ll be cool.

These bottom tassels were inspired by Mark O’s Sim pic:

I used tiny wooden flowerpots for the endcaps of the banner pole:
It may just be my system, but I’m not getting any ‘tassel’ image. I only get the ‘flowerpot’ one.
UPDATE: Scratch that, now it’s working. Not sure what’s different, but it’s coming up now.
Nice. By the by that is a clever and attractive way to use a non-standard item to make the banner look great; the pot works well.
Thanx, I was too lazy to go to Micheals, since Walmart is evil and (literally) didnt have the balls to help me with the project. So I tried what was the nex best thing.
