    Second Livery Cockade



    The one on the right was the first one I made. The one on the left is the second one. I kind of have mixed emotions on the second one.

    I like the one on the right the best.

    Where did you get the ribbon? I need some red and white striped.

    Both are well done, but I like the one on the right best, too. The other one is too yellow or something.

    I've made several livery cockades myself, and yours look great.

    Do a google search for grosgrain ribbons you should be able to find all kinds of Red & White ribbons.

    Harold,

    These look very nice! I think I prefer the second cockade, since the ratio of colors is more consistent with Chief George's arms.

    I agree. Both are well made, but the first one you completed, the cockade on the right, looks far better to my eyes.

    Good job mate!
