One of the little-known quirks of SCA heraldry is that the blazon (text description) is not registered.  The emblazon (picture) is registered.  Therefore is you want your device to pass, draw it according to the heraldic rules on the submission form.  After it is passed, draw it however you want.  In this case the emblazon was not blazonable, therefore it could not be registered.
