Woot® : One Day, One Deal™

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=37633]Inspired by The Holly

Like I said: this design looks like it belongs on an ancient, blood-stained, stone altar. Totally cool.
(Yeah, I'm unfamiliar with the song. I like the celtic-druidic-sacrifice angle better.)

Re: Inspired by The Holly & The Ivy

Based on the old carol 'The Holly & The Ivy':

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn.
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all.
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The holly and the ivy
Now both are full well grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

This looks great! GMV

I love Celtic knotwork, I love this song, and I love this design. I really hope it prints, because I want this for Christmas...and if it doesn't print, I'll have to wait until you can repost it elsewhere, after Christmas.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=37633]Inspired by The Holly

By the way, it makes a beautiful desktop background...hope you don't mind me admiring it for a couple of weeks on the computer screen while I await the t-shirt version.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=37633]Inspired by The Holly

This song has long been a favorite of mine, and the design is lovely. I'll definitely buy it if Woot gives us the chance.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=37633]Inspired by The Holly

I love this song & this is a beautiful design to go with it. Definitely GMV.

Everyone remember the band P.O.D.? If they ever put out a Christmas album, this would be the cover.

I'm presuming P.O.D. stands for "Pedestrian. Ordinary. Dull."

Amber, What's your screen resolution? I'll make you one that fits your screen and can be a little larger, instead. I'm glad you like it so much!

Lovely. I think this is some of your best work yet. Please let this fog and print. A definite buy for me.

Re:Inspired by The Holly & The Ivy

This has a ways to go to hit the fog, but I'm happy to see it getting some love!
