I know that Mistress Alissandro (sp?) uses a little pink elephant, and that
I incorporate a six-spoked wheel somewhere in mine.  Lately, I've taken
to incorporating it into the illuminated letters of the scrolls I do.  If I 
do a
vine/ivy border, a leaf near a corner will hide the wheel as part of itself.

In service,
Eldred
