This summer Frostheim had a painting session to decorate these shield blanks to hang on the walls of "Grundet", the place we are now storing our Shire property, and holding some events. I missed hearing about that session till afterwards, thanks to the luck of the draw that is FB.

However, we had our Jul potluck at Grundet, and while I was there I helped carry some stuff from the feasting hall to the storage area, and I saw a few of the unpainted shield blanks, so I brought one home and decorated it. I did the field divisions in December, but the last step had to wait until now because the can of silver paint wasn't in the metal cabinet with all of the other paints, where it should have been, and it took a while to discover where it was hiding. (It is now in the metal cabinet with all of the other paints.)

This is the first time I have ever tried dressing up my arms with diapering. I never thought of it before I saw aryanhwy adding some to the background of an illumination she was working on during one of my visits to Durham, when suddenly it clicked that it is just what my arms need to dress them up a bit. I have been meaning to try ever since, and I am really happy with how this came out.
