A Coat of Arms in Words
On the front of the British passport, a chained unicorn stands on its two hind legs. A crowned lion rises on the other side. What do these images convey if represented only in words?
Create your own coat of arms in words. Bring in elements of family history, fantasy, myth and imagination to reveal your background and philosophy of life.
Do animals or plants abound in your representation? What if you invoke the archetype of the unicorn and unchain it? Does your lion wear a different headdress?
Play with ideas and archetypes to write a decal of words. Does a story or poem emerge from the elements?
