Clipart Design Needed

[Tracey Bakewell]

I am trying to compliment a business name with the attached clipart (which is a scan off a shirt they like). I've been trying to re-draw pieces of it and I'm not that crafty. Does anyone have at least one of these leaves or a stirrup in clipart they can share? I don't need this entire thing, just a leaf and stirrup.

Thanks!
Tracey

Can't help on the clip art, but here's a tip I learned from some video clip. I hope I can say it clear enough to understand.

Use your freehand tool (the pen, as I call it). Just draw the lines, right over the centers of the lines and shapes. Once you have the "centerline" drawn, go to your pen tool and change the thickness of the line. Make it as fat as it needs to be to cover up the entire line from the clipart you are tracing.

Once that's done, select it all, then go under "Arrange" and select "convert outline to object". It'll make that one skinny line you drew, now a fat, wide object. It means you only have to draw the centerline instead of drawing the right and left side of everything, keeping it all parallel.

Make sense? You can easily knock that out. Give it a try!

Actually, that does make sense! And I think that's what I was trying to do as we speak, just not exactly like that. Let me see what I can do! Thanks!

Tracey I think you'll find the right flowers in this one.

He was SOOOOOO close to learning something new! And then......swiped right out from under it all...... :)

Scott,
I must say thank you, I learnt something. I was trying this some time back and did not know there was such a easy way to do it.

Because the squirrel has a zipper... if it had buttons on the left side, it would be a dudette. :D
