2013 Yule Invitation

This year's invitation for the our groups Yule event that's at the start of December. Besides the regular event, we'll be seeing the investiture of a new set of leaders.  Lots of the groups symbols were used in the piece.  The lion and Horse are supporters of the Group's achievement.  The Rampant weasel features as the crest on the helm of the achievement.  The Groups arms are at the bottom center. The Chair behind the King and Queen is empty to symbolize the vacancy about to be filled. The Gold Circle surrounded by black flames as well as the lanterns stands for the greater service award, the ribbon with the yellow chain is the lesser service award, the gold beacon with black fire is a leadership/teaching award for the fighting activities and the Maltese cross is taken from the device of Edward d'Orleans, which is the namesake for the Service through Arts or Sciences award.

Everything was painted with a brush, including all the lines.
Paint was mixed from various pigments found in period.
