Post Your Granted, Assumed or Desired Arms

Vera nice...did you "do" those yourself?

All by my lonesome.

Very nice, SlackerDrummer. Great design and execution.

I'm curious to know about your crest and the reasoning behind it. Care to share?

It is a groundhog (I was born on Groundhog Day) holding a sprig of Long-Leaf Pine (representing North Carolina, where I was born).

Very nice looking SD.

I recognize the Celtic cross, what do the two stars represent ?
Do you know what the moto translates to?

The stars come from the seal of the Cherokee. There are two simply for the sake of symmetry. I wanted both symbols, but wanted the cross in the more prominent position. Not that you asked, but the barrulet dancetty throughout in the main field represents the rope of a rope tension drum.

The motto translates "to live bravely".

Hmmm: No picture or file seems to be present on my screen??? Any other method available to post the design?

Do you have images blocked from imageshack.us? If that's not the case, then I'm not sure what the problem could be. On another forum, there have been issues where images did not show up if the "www" was missing from the URL in one's browser.

Grand! I especially like the use of the "Cherokee Rose", given that Principal Chief John Ross had a Scottish father, and many a Cherokee also has Scottish heritage.
