Tired of hauling rugs to serve as flooring for the baronial pavilion, Giuseppe and Giles decided to promote the creation of a groundcloth. Initial discussions with the Financial Committee were positive, and Countessa Lucianna was asked to create a concept sketch for art to decorate the cloth. The Committee approved an expenditure from Baronial funds to purchase the cloth, with a requirement that compensation for the artist and additional materials would be paid by monies raised by providing space for individual's armory on the cloth, and (at a premium) their depiction in the central panel.
Premium levels: $30 (under the Artist's direction, paint your own arms on the cloth); $60 (one of our artists will paint your arms); $100 or more: (one of our artists will paint your arms, and a depiction of you in the central panel of the cloth).
Inspiration for the Art
Taking inspiration from an illumination in the Military Ordinance of Charles the Bold ("Charles the Bold Receives His Military Captains"), c1475, Lucianna prepared a concept sketch, with different layouts for the armory.
Materials Specifications
A super groundcloth purchased from Panther Pavilions: dimensions: 16' x 24'.
Pictures of the Progress

The Cloth has been primed with a soft grey, and the border and foundation stripe painted.
