7. Cinnamon

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry
a very small drawing today, on theright is a white shield with a dark brown swirl and little brown spots. I'll be honest, I was originally trying to paint a piece of curled up cinnamon bark with cinnamon 'dust' around it but it ended up looking like a cinnamon bun. Later in the day I had cause to remember Mike Parry's disastrous attempt to eat a spoonful of cinnamon, and recreated this as a crest on the left, It's an overconfident man with glasses and a beard spewing out a cloud of ground cinnamon. This was inspired by the 'breath of God' type floating crests where a pair of lips blow wind from a cloud 🌬️. You can watch the original nonsense here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqmhuYtldd0

6. Fate

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry
a piece of white card with a black shield draw on it. there are 4 golden straws draw vertically on the shield, the third of which is shorter than the rest. The straws bear an uncanny resemblance to french fries.

5. Journey

hand-drawn shield showing Dorothy's ruby slipper-clad feet on the yellow brick road. turns out I really can't draw feet.

This is great! If you ever fancy carving any other coats of arms, I know at least one person who'd be interested 👀

Haha, that is always my fear, to see my idea already emblazoned by someone else! I am sure you will come up with something, looking forward to seeing it.

4. Passing

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry

(A second day of bonus shield!)
Got a bit carried away. There are two paintings today. First is Sable, a Pissant passant proper fimbriated argent. More simply, a black shield with an ant on it, the ant is coloured normally and has a white edge all round it. 'Passant' in heraldry refers to a beast in a walking pose, side-on, and is of course also French for 'passing'. The second shield is black-ish, with two white hands, one passing a golden baton to the other - proof, if any were needed, that hands are difficult (but who is that mysterious person being passed the baton?). yes i know the hand receiving should be a *right* hand and not a left hand for it to make sense.

3. Cavalry

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry

(Bonus extra shield today)
A reimagining of the badge of theRoyal Scots Dragoon Guards as a coat of arms a white shield with two halves of a coconut shell. above it is a torse (wreath of cloth) over which is the crest, namely a swallow (unconfirmed African or European) laden with a coconut

2. Feast

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry
a white piece of card with scribbly writing as per the text of this post. below the text is a shield shape. the top third is red and in the centre of the red area is a silver platter on which rests a roasted bird (chicken/turkey). the red section looks like it is being tugged down into the lower, white part of the shield by a blond dog with a red collar. The dog will soon enjoy the feast, and no doubt still ask for its full dinner later as well. Good dog.

Yes, just look around the tiny, tiny room before leaving for a 400 mile journey.
