This once belonged to my Puerto Rican grandma and I'm happy to own it now. 🇵🇷

These two Parrots I spotted supporting a coat of arms on a building on Queen Street in Glasgow confused me somewhat, until I realised it's the crest of the Buchanan Society and they're meant to be Peregrine Falcons!

Ornate lamp featuring the Glasgow Coat of Arms over the entrance to a tenement close in the Strathbungo area of the city.
Such lamps usually signify that an occupant of a building is (if there's two) or once was (if there's just one) the Lord Provost of Glasgow.

Fish with antlers, a bleeding red harp, a pretty metal beaver holding an axe (and apparently beaver penis shown, too), what have you, but read the comments for once for more info.

Unusual coat of arms on a building on the corner of Buchanan Street and Gordon Street in Glasgow. I love the Celtic-style knotwork formed by the tails of the two dragons.

We do not stir
It started as a motto for a character, turned into a coat of arms and then became a full poem.

My grandmother was born in Vatra Dornei (then Dorna Vatra), now a skiing resort in the #Carpathian mountains then quite a glamorous #Bucovina spa town, and I just now realised that their city #CoatOfArms has a couple of #squirrels holding the local fountain. I mean, how cute is that??

Here's a few of the #papercuttings I've done over the years (more to come). :) The top two were made from several layers of paper. The bottom two were originally based on ones from a book of fretwork patterns that I heavily modified.

Ik ben al jaren op zoek naar de bevestiging van 'ons' #familiewapen. Er is al veel over bekend, maar heeft mijn voorvader Pieter J. Serné (1746-1801) werkelijk dit familiewapen gebruikt? Dichter dan een mogelijke foto van de achterkant van een zegel, in het Finse Nationaal #Archief!, kom ik nog niet.

#Fotomontag Given my other hobbies I've posted about ( #HEMA ), I'm sure it's no surprise that I looked into #Heraldry awhile ago.
Turns out that with a few rare exceptions, most people do not have valid claim to any historical Heraldry (like the "family #CoatOfArms " booths at Ren Faires) - But, there's no reason that anyone can't create their OWN heraldry! Which I thought was a lot more fun anyway. After a long, slow decision process - this is my official #HeraldicAchievement! (cont)
