Penguin Crossing needed!
« on: January 19, 2011, 08:00:05 pm »
I need some help in finding a pattern.  I have a display in the lobby of my office from a second grade art class.  It is watercolor penguins.  I have about 25 pictures.  I thought it would be cute if I could find a pattern of a penguin with the words "Penguin crossing" or something to that effect.  If anyone can help it is appreciated.

Use a Hiway 'Warning' type 'diamond' sign shape and just put the silhouette of a penguin and the wording!

PENGUIN CROSSING SIGN @ http://streetsignsplus.com

use this one. I think I might post a tutorial on how to create patterns from pictures later.

That would be very beneficial for many of us who would like to start doing some of our own patterns!

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

Thanks Torsten and Paul.  I am the Postmaster in a small Southwest Virginia city.  Every month the art teacher from the local grade school brings me works from one of her classes.  It brightens the lobby up and the kids bring their parents and grandparents by to show off their art.  I am going to use Paul's pattern and put it inside of a yellow diamond shaped sign.  If I can figure out how to post a picture I will show the finished product on display.  Thanks again.
