In Heraldry, Diapering (from an old term for damask) is a technique in which those who draw achievements of arms attempt to decorate large areas of flat colour by drawing crosshatches or arabesques. There is no standard, and each artist is allowed his own idiosyncrasies.

Diapering is not specified in the blazon, so a shield with diapering is considered the same as a shield of the same design but without diapering. For this reason, however, diapering must not be so obstrusive or so heavily drawn that it could be mistaken for a charge or for a variation of the field.

Other uses


In Architecture and other decorative arts, diapering or diaper decoration is a decorative treatment of a surface with a repeat pattern of squares or lozenges. A stone wall may be decorated with such a pattern carved in relief; in brickwork the effect may be achieved by using bricks of two different colours, or by allowing certain bricks to protrude from the wall's surface to create a regular diamond-shaped pattern.

Hot Property: Julianna Margulies' Santa Monica home for sale at $4.5 million
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society house tour spotlights a 1908 survivor brought back from the brink.
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Architectural photographer Mary E. Nichols and Keith Wood saw good bones beneath the Wilton Place property's shabby facade. AS an architectural photographer and confirmed "house-aholic," Mary E. Nichols has seen many a residential wreck. But the 1908 specimen at 212 S. Wilton Place -- part of an L.A. street listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- was a house of horrors.
Only in Malibu: the $2-million mobile home
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Bluff-side Paradise Cove and Point Dume Club take manufactured-home living to new heights. If you want to live among gas-guzzling, tax-evading, hippie-gypsies running from the law, then Malibu's mobile-home parks are not the places to look (as the Who might otherwise suggest in its hit song "Going Mobile"). Here you will find no country-trekking trailers, but double-wides and manufactured homes placed permanently atop sweeping ocean-side bluffs. In fact, the term "mobile-home park" is rather misleading in this mansion- and estate-packed section of the globe.
In Los Angeles, a 1900s White House for the not quite presidential
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
A certain Pennsylvania Avenue address has spawned imitators across the continent, including Beverly Hills' once-grand Rosewall estate. JOHN McCAIN doesn't know how many houses he owns, but he wants 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Ever since the "presidential palace" was completed in 1800, the White House has been the ultimate American address. For a century it was our largest house, more than double the size of Monticello and Mount Vernon combined.

Much ado is in the air. It is as if I am a green sticky-footed gecko trapped in a white shoebox. I move from wall to wall and then back again. Up, down, over, backward, ceiling, floor, faster, faster. I see no door, and I don't quite know what I'm getting done, yet I feel the tug and pull to do it now. I am hungry all the time. Unrested. Too full.
