Simple B/W graphic for orchid society badges
Greetings -
We are trying to design a badge for our orchid society, and are having a really hard time finding a simple, non-copyrighted graphic of a single orchid flower (something frou-frou, like cattleya, slipper, etc.) to have engraved on the badge, along with our society name and the member name. AOS used to have a bunch of this kind of thing (including newsletter templetes), but it all seems to have been excised from the site.
Any suggestions, or clues where I might find such a critter? I have some of this kind of thing stored in my computer, but they are too 'pixillated' to make a good translation to a badge.
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.
Regards - Nancy (Acadian Orchid Society)

Hi Dorothy and Dennis -
I guess I was muddling my request - what I need is some kind of line drawing with very little detail that can be engraved onto a badge.
Are your photos taken with b&w film, or digitized into black and white? Black and white gives very different detailing than color, doesn't it?
Thanks - Nancy

Why not use a picture that you like and then convert it to pen and ink drawing with photoshop or other software like it. This would give you the line drawing your looking for.

Wow, Dennis - how did you do that? Great texture! This is a tool I should learn to use - what is it?
