Re: Lake Ontario Sunset

I hope everyone likes this one... It kind of has a personal meaning and I'm not sure it'll resonate with everyone. Back when I was a kid my family and I would occasioanlly head up to Canada to visit my mother's relatives. We would usually go in the early fall when the leaves were all turning and the loons and Canadian gese were all in flight... headed south I guess. My mom's not with us anymore but I still remember the way she loved the changing colors of the leaves and the sight of those birds in flight. I wanted to pay homage to that with this shirt; I call it Lake Ontario Sunset. Please let me know if you like it. Thanks!

Re: Spirit Island, Alberta

Inspired by a photo of Sprit Island, Alberta, made up of little maple leaves. Hope you like.

What started out as an idea to combine all of the provincial/territorial flowers, I ended up using just the gorgeous fireweed, the official flower of the Yukon. It is an on-theme shirt without being obviously about Canada, thus requiring no explanation to wear every day. Well. Not every day. Unless you wash it every night, please.

You and I were totally on the same wavelength!! Awesome Fireweed, you did it justice where I could not. My Trillium was an easier execution after spending all night on the other one.

wow, very beautiful. I also like to see the changing of the leaves. I am not sure about the black sure, but you got my vote.

I loved the trillium, too, but I thought the fireweed made a more interesting natural shape on the shirt. I had a neat array of flowers in a swirly pattern, but I couldn't do them all in only 6 colours--some were white, some pink, some purple, some orange, some blue...bah!

Cool that we both had the same thought! Mine is a little different. What do you think?

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=11490]Canada

It's clever and cute. I'd like it more if the water outline were less boxy--I understand you were going for a map-like edge, but it doesn't work nicely on the shirt itself. A softer edge (maybe a torn paper concept, to fit with the map?) would fit better.

Ordinarily, I'd stand for nunavit, but this is visual punnery at its finest.

Re: Maple Splatter

I'm not quite sure why but I am intrinsically drawn to this design, maybe because i find it classy (imo). Nicely done!

Re: Spirit Island, Alberta

This is awesome.

Re: Maple Print

Very nice. I like how the leaves looked stamped on.

Re: Fireweed - Flower of the Yukon

Holy moly, guys! This is awesome! I love people. I especially love people who vote for me in the future or have voted for me in the past.

Re: Maple Print

Wow.. very nice!

Re: Falling Maples

The gray rectangle you have on the shirt is the printable area...they won't print the leaves on the shoulder. The design may be rejected for being outside the printable area, and if it is, I hope you'll resubmit with the design inside of the printable area because it is pretty.

Re: Spirit Island, Alberta

Beautiful!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=11490]Canada

hahaaaha this shirt is awesome!!! being from western Canada, many of us (my extended family at least) could care if Quebec seded from Canada....all the quebecois do is whine and complain yet because of their huge population (in coparison to the other provinces) they have they most seats in parliment so essentially they control the government !!! AARGH!

Re: Rorschach's Canada

I like this better without the words. Glad you took them off. Now it makes people wonder or have to ask. hehe

Re: 4 out of 5 U.S. Americans

Re: Canadian Goose

Nice!

Re: Fireweed - Flower of the Yukon

Very pretty. I like the shirts that aren't glaringly obvious Canadian references, because I have absolutely no affiliation with Canada or anyone from there whatsoever. T_T My only hope to get a shirt out this derby is if something like this wins. ^-^
