Device Submission Number Infinity

[peteyfrogboy]

I've tried several times to submit a device, with no success. My very first one got bounced for being too busy (with which I totally agree). I think there may have been a couple other attempts, and the most recent ("azure, semy of annulets or") got lost in heraldic limbo, even though adelavanbrugge's simultaneous name submission passed with flying colors. There was also the potential of that one conflicting with existing arms, which is always a problem with extremely simple heraldry. This time around I've decided to make it a little more complex to help avoid conflicts, while still geometrically simple and more or less persona-appropriate:

Grommets! Shiny gold grommets! ;)

Shiny brass lacing rings, you mean. Spaced for spiral lacing, of course.

Of course! That's what I meant! ;)

I like it! It's a very lovely design. Good luck getting it passed :)

My name is currently under debate. They are claiming that Tatiana is a Russian name and Verlioni (obviously) is an Italian name. So there's this whole debate going on whether or not Russia and Italy had enough communication in the late 16th century to warrant the combo. Which baffles me. Yes, Tatiana the saint enjoyed a great deal of popularity in Russia... but Tatiana the woman that became the saint was a Roman citizen that was fed to the lions. So, if it started as an Italian name and the lady became a saint, why can it not work with an Italian last name regardless of how much more popular it was in Russia? I just don't get heraldry stuff at all. And at this point, I'm using Tatiana Verlioni regardless of what the verdict is. So there. ;-p

I really like it - very striking, and unusual enough that hopefully it should pass. :)
