His Excellency, Gilchrist Morgan, Baron of Mordenvale, asked me to
co-ordinate the design and making of six badges for the Baronial Guard.
These were to be of the Mordenvale arms.
Of late, the Barony has taken on a decidedly German flavour, so I looked
to this area for inspiration for the shape of the shield. This is what
I came up with, based on a 15th/16thC shield shape.
The material for the badge are red and green silk, with
a green cotton backing fabric. The design will be worked in imitation
Japanese gold thread, in surface couching.

This is the bage at four hours work. The chevron is taking a little
longer than expected, but it is going.
