Rose’n’Thistle - OpenClipArt

Apr 27, 2011 (about 1 year ago)

A drawing of a rose and thistle.

I have just contributed my first piece of clip art to the Open Clip Art Library.

The picture is something I drew for my brother when he asked me to design his wedding invitation (He married a lovely Scottish lassie in 2007). I drew the picture with a ballpoint pen on a scrap piece of paper, before scanning it and sending it to him via email. He had the picture printed onto some fancy card and the final result looked quite nice.

I had forgotten all about the image, but then I stumbled across it again last night and I thought it might be nice to make it publicly available, so I uploaded it to OCAL.

Note to self: I have hundreds of other doodles laying around, when I get time, I should make the effort to make them available too.

    Nice symbolism with the English Rose and Scottish Thistle. Well done!

    [Don’t tell anyone I know this sort of thing, they’ll kick me out of Texas.]

    We had a similar logo designed for our wedding when the English Rose married a Scot. The next intention is to paint our logo onto a board to make it something like a pub sign.
    I love your design and look forward to more.
