Title: Tried Something New...
Post by: Grey Taylor on September 13, 2011, 05:58:00 PM
I got a new idea for these arrows and ran with it. I like the way they turned out.
I actually made two sets here, kind of a tuxedo set and a Friday casual set.

Very nice! I especially like the fade out on the "casual set".

Thanks, everyone!
These were a lot of fun to make and I'm pretty pleased with the way they turned out. The silver leaf under the crest was a little tricky but it turned out just fine. I'm looking forward to using some of the same techniques on future arrows.

Shakes, it's the coat of arms for the gentleman who received the arrows. He participates heavily in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and has the device there:
Vert, a griffin segreant contourney Or, and for augmentation, maintaining in its forefeet a roundel azure charged with a Caidan cross & a bordure argent

Don't ask me how to read that! I just copied the picture.
