The square shell pieces are actually from Michaels; they had strings of them in their beading section. Seeing those in the store actually gave me the idea to make the shield. The painting is a little more distressed than it appears in the photo, so it looks a little more antique than the photo would suggest. Some real ones can be seen in these links: [url=http://www.metmuseum.org/special/new_galleries/view_1.asp?item=5 [ Edited by: Fugu 2009-04-25 12:09 ]
