My Knight's Tale project wouldn't be complete without a little cross-crafting. For my Etsy shop, I got the idea to make some cards inspired by heraldry, which is a prominent part of Jocelyn's awesome felt coat. I plan on making my own coat of arms coat (hehe) when I find the perfect jacket or sweater to embroider or paint, (obvi still in development) so I have been doing a little preliminary research on the Shaw coat of arms. Lots of options between the Scottish, English and Irish versions (What can I say? My people are mutts.) Some wolves, some cup looking things and also a really scary looking fist holding a dagger. Annnnnyway, the search made me wonder if there were any ridiculous crest animals, so I though I'd make my own sets, starting with the Puffin:
Alcidae is apparently the family name for Puffins (English teacher who blatantly Wikipedias over here), which I thought would be a nice little joke. Next on the list I am thinking hedgehogs, bunnies and maybe a Pomeranian? Or Dachsund? Any other suggestions?
Also, go check out my Etsy shop and notice how everything is in pink gouache, cause I can only afford white and red and also this ish lasts forever.
