Blood Angels Banner Project

I began a banner a few months ago and wanted to post up the pictures I have of what I've completed so far. This isn't the usual painted banner either, I have decided to create my banner by Hooking, its a linen-burlap backing with hand cut wool threads for all the color. Please ask any questions you have. I will also be doing commissions, so if you want your own battle standard, please PM me!

This banner is going to be 5ft x 3ft and its getting quite heavy.

cant wait to see it finished ... dont know why i never thought of making a banner that way before ... id love to make an IG regimental standard

Looks pretty amazing. How much dya think you'll be charging for commission pieces like this?

awesome I want one I'm a avid BA fan so this would really be cool!

Incredible! I would love to see a Dark Angel one of these.

I'm glad people like it! If you are interested in a commission please PM me. Any size/shape/color and pattern can be done! Thanks!

That is fantastic work, must be taking a heck of a long time, or a lot of patience ;) What a great idea!!!

Thanks! Its been almost 4 months up untill this point, though I have not been working every day on it.

That looks amazing.

I'm glad everyone is liking my banner, I'm thinking of doing smaller "back banners" next, like the ones Veteran Sergeants and Eldar Autarchs have. Probably only 1 1/2ft x2 1/2ft to up to 2ft x 3ft. Something a little more transport-able.

Time to start the feathers, not much left, after that its just filling in color.

Stirling effort on this banner, great ambition!

I'm traveling for the week, so I needed something to do while on the road. Trying out some purity seals that I will be able to affix to the finished banner. These are pretty quick and easy.

That's incredible! The amount of time and effort put into this is just amazing. I can't imagine how many hours you've worked on this.

Its really cool because you rarely see such handiwork associated with the hobby.

Keep up the great work! :)

Feathers are mostly filled out. I hope I have enough white to finish with.

Finished a seal that I can attach to the banner, I thought it would look cooler to have a separate 3D seal rather than building it into the main banner.

Almost complete, just need to finish the yellow up top, then its wrapping the edges.

wow

This thing is freaking gorgeous, and I want one.

Banner is finished, I need to make a standard pole for it. It took a lot longer than it should have, I've been away for a while. I hope everyone likes the finished product. Thanks all!
