Riderless Bridles

malltBobby G sent me an e-mail asking how much I would charge to make an Avacalian Riderless Bridle, he wants to bring it up at Coronet.
I was in two minds over whether I wanted to do this but at the end of the day the idea of coming up with something new & different for such a moving ceremony won out. I gave him a ball park number based on what bridles cost in the store but at the end of the day as long as any new material costs are cover I'm not worried.
This & the fact that I am sorting out the basement got me thinking of the Kingdom bridle & I think I've finally worked out how to modify it so that it'll fit better on the different size horses. My head space hasn't really been conducive to the crative process of late. That'll be a project for January's chilly weekends.
So in my e-mail to Bobby I said:
On the Kingdom bridle I incorporated roses as well as the lions on An Tir, this is because the ceremony is conducted by the Ladies of the Rose (or whatever they call themselves!) Who will be doing it here? Will it be LoVE? If so what would they like incorporated in addition to Fluffy? I don't know if they have a flower associated with them, if not would the forget-me-not be a possible/appropriate option?
Bat some ideas around & let me know what you all come up with & I'll see how I can pull them together for you.
I thought I'd post here for any additional ideas, the Kingdom one was relatively easy as I had two elements to work with but with the Principality I only really have Fluffy.
I also let him know I'm not playing anymore... I figured he probably knew but with Bobby you can never be sure! ;p
Oh & I also told him to make 'Nyra a Princess! ;)

Not to be a killjoy & I'll mention it at Curia, but I wonder how necessary one for us is - at least until we're own kingdom. Makes me wonder if the other principalities have them.
