Re: How To DIY Flourish Designs

You did a great job! However, please forgive me for pointing out that the 
designs, which was originally posted, has some very traditional features 
which can hardly be replicated by a clipart. Although your design looks 
graphically appealing, it would never be something a hand engraver would do!

And unfortunately, the customer wants me to get "as close as possible"

(heard that one before). I may end up having to redraw it by hand. The rally 
bad thing is, it came from a belt buckle, the customer lives in Texas and I 
am in Kentucky. And he wont send us the buckle, so he photocopied it. Crap 
in, Crap out.
