Heraldic Colors and Beasts Since I can't exactly post my stories online, I figured I'd share with you all one of my other interests--the art of heraldry. This is still a work in progress and because of memory issues I probably won't be able to put a whole lot on here, but you'll get a basic idea. |

My own original design. You can find these images that I am using as examples on the internet--just type "heraldry" or a related word or phrase into your favorite search engine. (I wouldn't recommend using the images from my site, as they are very blurry. If they don't show up, right-click on the area beside the text and click "Show Picture".) Once you have the pictures, you can make your own coat-of-arms! |
