[ANSTHRLD] Eldwin's Submission II Version 3

[Bob Wade]

A mermaid proper has a vert tail, only the hair (blazoned "crined") is unspecified.  The mirror and comb would be left unblazoned and left to artistic discretion.
 
Blazon aside, the new attempt does not address the double tertiary on the chief raised by Alasdair.  It does resolves the contrast problem.
 
What does the submittor think of something on the order of:  "Per fess purpure and Or, a mermaid in her vanity proper, crined, and in chief three mullets voided, each interlaced with an annulet Or?  This retains her preference for the tincture purpure and Or and also (1) eliminates the contrast problem of the per fess metal/color proper color of the mermaid and (2) eliminates double tertiary charges by making them secondary/peripheral ones.
 
Three mullets provides period heraldic balance with symmetrical charges.  An alternative is perod imbalance with having only one in canton ("Per fess purpure and Or, a mermaid in her vanity proper, crined, and in dexter chief a mullet voided interlaced with an annulet Or."

I'm guessing on the blazon for this, but here's the latest version for the device of my "industrious client."

Or, a mermaid in her vanity proper hair and tail purpure with mirror and comb argent and on a chief invected purpure a mullet voided and interlaced, within and conjoined to an annulet Or.
