I believe we assigned this to Kingsbury - I'll ask him.

I don't believe we discussed this but I am willing to take it up. Do you have thoughts as to your arms MPF?

Ok, let's start from the beginning of the design. First, what color do you want the background of your shield? That will determine a lot of things in relation to the charges or divisions you want on top of that color.
Also, with all the different charges you've indicated above, it might be a violation of the slot machine rule and/or complexity rules. You might want to consider what is most important and we can go from there.

I was told to keep only 3 elements at most, if I understood properly, so I thought of the Anvil with the berber symbol for F on it, and the beaver. The line was just the separation, I don't really care about it. The Anvil is like my family symbol, my daugther would have it too.. The Beaver is more like my personal symbol.

Ok, so if I were to apply an azure tincture as a background on your shield I can't add the wavy bar, but if the wavy bar were a different color,(would have to be for example gold (or) and argent (silver), I could divide the shield with a bar wavy argent fimbriated or and add the beaver above and the anvil below with a berber F on it. When I saw the image I thought everything was a separate charge. I'll work up a draft design later today.

Just for a quick clarification-
Everything on a COA is an element- Tincture, Variations in the field, Charges, etc. With what has been posted, we have 3 tinctures - the background (white), one variation (wavy line) , 3 charges (the anvil, the beaver, and the symbol). That makes the complexity currently 7, while the guideline is at most 8.

A silver wavy bar would be perfect. In my mock-up, there are 2 wavy lines, but I would prefer to either have 1 wavy line (representing the St-Lawrence river) or 3 (the St-Lawrence, the Rivière-Des-Prairies and the Rivière des Milles-Iles). I do not personally care between 1 and 3, but please, don't make it two...

I believe we had that discussion, hence why I reduced to those specific elements, when my original design had 9 elements I believe... But the Background was white only out of limited graphic skills and not out of desire for the white!

Here is a mock-up for you. Let me know what you think. We ran into a problem with the anvil being sable (black) on an azure (blue) background (color on color) so I made a couple color changes. Attachments:
