[Ponte Alto] Heraldry, when you can't draw

[Jessica Wilbur]

Hi Corun,

Thanks for all your effort, but unfortunately those aren't my arms anymore.
I changed my arms shortly after I changed my name and at the same time,
released the old device. My new one is much easier to deal with: Per pale
vert and sable, a fleur-de-lys within an orle argent. The only thing anyone
drawing it would need to know is that my fleur-de-lys is a Florentine one
rather than a French one - it's got all the stamens and leaves and froofy
stuff. You can see it on the home page of my website:
http://www.sword.net/jessica/  (Actually, if you go to the About Giuliana
page, you can see the whole achievement that Kevin drew up.)

Ciao!
--Giuliana
