I was thinking that they would belong to CLG and be used for IDing those folks who are leading the ritual. That way the tabbards would be available for ritual leaders regardless of the individuals passing through the grove over time- cause lets face it, it happens. If they are for individuals then as people come and go there will have to be a production of more tabbards, which is time/convience/monitarily not ideal. If they belong to the church then when folks showing up for the ritual arrive, the people participating in leading pop on a tabbard, do ritual, and return the tabbard to be used again.
I was sort of thinking making them in a base range of sizes (probobly fitting you and I as the smallest and working up) about 5-6" off of each other (height & width), with several in each size. Too close a size difference and we'll have to make 50 different sizes, too large a size difference and someone in between sizes looks, um, odd.
The plan is to have a large white tabbard with the stenciled edge for the bottom layerfor year round use, and then another smaller colored layer that we could change out for the holiday. I have a bolt of white muslin,and a few of the colors for the top tabbard. I have some ideas on how to attach the two layers, but as with figuring dimensions, any suggestions would be good.
If making these goes well, they work out for the grove, there's interest, ect. then maybe we'll get a black underlayer for the dark half of the year, and use the white for the light half, but that's a whole additional project that is best left to the future after seeing how people feel about these.
How does all of that sound?
