Here we have a picture of Sarah the cat and
also Donald working at his various computer projects
On the way downstairs I noted Billy's work in
progress on making a Fire Truck out of wood and also Debbie starting to
work on the final stage of the Electric Scotland Logo
We were heading in to Cranbrook to drop Donald
off at the College of the Rockies for rugby practice and the other is a
scene on the way back showing more greenery
Rocky decided to pose for a picture :-)
It was then onto Donald's School where they
were having a Highland Dance competition. Seems however that it was all
over by the time we got there and they were just waiting for the prizes to
be given out
Down the corner were the judges and the Piper
and on the right a couple of the contestants checking out the prizes and
trophies
Selkirk Highlanders seems more appropriate to
P.E.I. so will need to find out why that name was chosen. There was also
bolts of various tartan cloth available for sale.
And outside the school you could purchase a
hamburger or hotdog with profits going to the school
It was then back to the house just in time to
see Debbie starting to embroider what we hoped would be the final logo
design. As the Scottish Parliament has recommend Pantone 300 as the
correct colour for the Saltire Flag we've gone for that colour ourselves.
And as you can see we've completed the design
with some 16,000 stitches
We decided to make a small adjustment to the
sheild border and change the font used and so now we're trying it out for
real.
The final embroidery gets going and on the
computer screen you can see the logo that Debbie designed
Progressing well :-)
Here we see the difference between the first
two attempts
And that was about there as its getting to
16,000 stitches
In actual fact although this was the final
logo we decided that the border around the shield was better in the first
attempt and that we needed a clearer font and so Debbie did one more
tryout and so the picture on the right is the final version
Esseentially the shield is supposed to say
history. The St. Andrews cross is the standard pantone 300 colour for the
Saltire Flag recommended by the Scottish Parliament. The Piper is
meant to be an obvious Scottish connection. So hopefully when people
see it they'll think of Scottish History :-)
And just to show you what it's like I modeled
the T-Shirt we tried the last but one design on. The lettering of course
is black but will be white when folk order dark colours. The design is now
suitable for all embroidery work and Billy will now cutomise this for
engraving onto wood, glass and pewter. He is also going to build a logo
for use on the web site as well. |
