Stress Relief

So Dad wanted me to put the coat of arms up that I made... I had to make it for a class but I took extra time on it because I needed the stress relief a drawing seems to help with that. (oh, i answered questions in the comment section of the last post) so anyways, here it is...

So I want to make this into a bit of a "test"... I want to see how many of you know what the things in the coat of arms are and what they stand for/why I put them in it. :)

Um, so I've never seen this before, let alone even heard of it. I'm assuming it has something to do with the "Hellstrom coat of arms"?? Am I right? Or a Baker thing? ...and it's no surprise that there is music notes in it. ;)

Grumpy said...

yer mom said...

Well first is music (Baker) scriptures for Hellstrom converts, photography for dad, and the other is the Swedish symbol (three crowns) dad told me that one. Please major in some kind of art - teaching or something - you are fabulous

Silly scott, you haven't seen in because I just drew it this week :)

This is Scott, the other was Heidi. My guess was that the music was mom/Baker, the photography was for dad. I didn't know the crowns, Heidi guessed they were for the three kids. The dates had to do with baptism of coming to America. The two flags are obvious. The spring/stream at the bottom is the meaning of Hellstrom.

well your close on the crowns... it is a symbol of sweeden and most believe that it represents the three kings that visited the lord, though there are some other less common interpretations :^)
