Shield me

[sister_raphael]

The third of the shields has arrived and I've started the base coat and the gold trim.

This one will be my personal one, for tent display and general looking special. Blood red and gold.

Do you know your own arms?

My own family is too humble to be armigerous (and too Welsh/Scottish/etc) I suspect. :o)

Well, since a coat of arms is awarded to a single person and not a whole family, there are a few Gilbert coat of arms on the family tree. I often use the red with white chevron and three red roses because it's my favourite of them all!

This is the one that I usually use. I really should make one of these too. Just because I can, but it's really unnecessary. I've used it halved on a heraldic kirtle I used to wear a lot before I realised I actually put it on the dress incorrectly. I copied the placement from someone else but since then I have learned that it should have been entirely on the front, not wrapped around the side. Sigh. We live and learn.
