In case any of you are curious, my presumptive blazon, created out of whole cloth (and not much else) goes: On a field Or masoned sable, a Cross-crosslet sanguine; in chief embattled bleu-celeste, two Mockingbirds volant addorsed proper.
I'd forgo the use of sanguine and bleu-celeste in favor of Gules and Azure. You can ask you artist to use a particular shade of red and blue to fit your fancy. Stains and bleu-celeste are rarely used well. I'd also urge you to reconsider the mockingbirds proper, in favor of martlets Argent. At such a small size the mockingbirds proper will get lost on the blue chief.
Try: Or masoned Sable a cross-crosslet Gules; on a chief embattled Azure two martlets Argent.
