As a child I always wanted a seal ring. One I could place in wax so the envelope was sealed by my shield of arms. Because my heritage is nowhere near King, Knights and all that, I would have to make up a weapon of my own. And I did for many, many, many years ago lost myself in the world of heraldy. And LOL got so lost I never found my way out.
So my ambitions to become something I was not soon vanished with each day I got older and finally more mature. Seeing this brought all my memories back. Smile. Weapons. Shields. Knights.
Shining Armour.
Love this, Han. Did you ever design your own shield? If so, do you still remember the color and design? Thanks for sharing.

Smile yes, I did remember something of the pattern "bend" but I can't remember the colour. Some blue with silver, but not as big lines as the ones above.

I wanted a decoder ring you could get from Ovaltine. I hated Ovaltine and never did get the decoder ring.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your post reminded me of A Knight's Tale - a movie I never thought I'd like, but it's a hoot. If you haven't seen it, give it a try.
OK, added a knight's tale to my to-be-seen list, Leigh. Thank you, I'm sure I will enjoy it.

Yes, well a true Knight should have a weapon shield, right? But I guess Knighthood has to be earned....
