Yeah... I'm probably as much a Tiassa as anything, but I'm not sure I'd 
necessarily want a Tiassa shirt (though what's not to like about a big 
cat with wings?)

I thought the buttons might do better, once they're all done, as people 
could get one of each and cover a backpack with them or something.
But as Scott Schultz suggested, I think I'll treat the House logos as 
more of a long-term project. I do appreciate that folks are kind of 
tapped out from the holidays at the moment, but most of the other 
designs have sold at least a few items each, whereas the House designs 
haven't moved at all.

PS: SelectSmart does have a "House selector" but I don't know how good 
it is: http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=dragaeranhouses
(It thinks I'm a Hawk, Lyorn, Issola, or Tiassa, in that order... but it 
doesn't give a percentage match they way the presidential candidate 
selectors do, and I'm not sure about some of the questions... what's 
this "nervous person" about? Teckla?)
