Banner Stands

I make custom banner stands. The one on top was a commission we got at

the EK50 event to be delivered at Pennsic. The woman had no preference

as to what it would look like. She had mentioned something simple

but that just allowed me to make what I wanted.

The black and gold stand was a gift from me to a dear friend who has been a 

big supporter of my work who was about toe receive her Laurel. Her persona

is Italian Renn, and FLeur De Lys is her arms. I wanted to make her something 

very special. The finished version is actually version #4 as making the

 Fleur de Lys and attaching them to the stand took some working

and reworking. The final version and the necessity for a finished  stand 

in time for her peerage led me to thinking outside of what i had initially 

planned and led me to using the gold wire wrap to attach the arms and the 

Fleur de Lys. Which in turn led to the over all design theme of the 

wrapped wire, Sort of a happy accident.
