D9P question

At first glance, I noticed the pin wheely thing in the middle and thought, " I like that" only after looking at it a while longer did I see the swastikas. Ohhhh, thanks for the warning! This may be one to put some large appliques on. All that work -- I feel your pain.

re: the swastika layout
"The word swastika came from the Sanskrit word svastika, meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck. It is composed of su- meaning "good, well" and asti "to be" svasti thus means "well-being." The suffix -ka either forms a diminutive or intensifies the verbal meaning, and svastika might thus be translated literally as "that which is associated with well-being," corresponding to "lucky charm" or "thing that is auspicious."
In other words, the Nazi party corrupted a symbol of good will/good luck into a symbol of evil.
