Order will be in by the end of the week...Just finishing up the colors. Two quick favors/questions:
Anyone have high resolution photo of the flag?
Anyone have access to Pantone colors? Trying to match the colors as close as possible from the limited shots we have.

Might try Pantone.com or if you know anyone in the advertising business, they should have one. I had to find one a year or so ago....after Googling by the specific PMS color/number, I eventually got what I needed. Don't bother going to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask for a Pantone book. They'll look at you like you have three heads. Trust me.

Colors are finalized, the order is in, and I'm off to the bank to wire the money to China.
I received multiple references from the manufacturer of companies here in The States that have used them in the past and they were all great. I am much more confident now that we are not getting scammed! [smilie=coolup.gif]

Uh...I'm a professional artist with tons of connections (NOT in China!). I was thinking of making a Finland (like the country!) with a Shark design on it (custom, not clip art).
If anyone would be interested. I would sell em on etsy.com.
Here's my shark ornament. This years has the words 'FINS UP!' stamped into the clay (it's porcelain, actually).
Those will also be on etsy. I'll donate a portion to Animal Rescue from the tornado mess in AL, you guys. JB's home state. When's he gonna do a benefit for that?!!

I've had a few more requests for orders. I think I might be able to put together an order of 6. If you are interested PM me. It will be around $33 for this order due to the lower number.

Very good news! Maybe we'll receive it in time to display at the annual "Old Hippies in Shorts Jam" in Louisiana on Memorial Day weekend.
