Battle weary Coat of Arms

[Jjartwood]

When I did the boiler plate Knights Armor pen one of the comments from MIKL
was that the shield could be used for a family crest, it got me to thinking that shields do carry a Coat of Arms and that started the voices in my head.
( I don't mind them,we usually get along).
I found my family Coat of Arms and being that my last name refers to a somewhat " care free " bunch the shield needed to be in less then unused condition.
The body of the pen is made with drift wood,under-turned,the shield is of copper sheeting and brass screws are used to fasten it,the coat of arms was
(and I know it looks it) hand painted onto the shield and than it was cast in PR
Thanks for looking
C&C welcome

That looks great! Did you antique the finish on the hardware? How'd you do that?

The voices in your head have been communicating with the voices in mine. Nice, I mean very distressed work!

Fantastic Pen Mark,
Don't stop taking your Medication.
But from the results, you have shown, continue to listen to the voices in your Head. They are giving you the "Good Oil"
A definate "Show Stopper", and a "Must Pick Up" Pen.
Congratulations,
Brian.

now Mark, it was a challenge (kind of) but you didn't type - CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, so i don't think this counts, you will have to start all over again:biggrin:

great job mate, the coats of arms on shields in them Ye Ole days would also have been hand painted so it has a genuine feeling to it

sorry i have no further challenges that i can think of at the moment

thanks for showing

Like the way the 'painting' highlights the "CoA".


Very nice!
