Hello

I decided to make my family crest very simple.

The shell represents the fact that we all moved to the coast of the north sea and build our lives there. The flowers because we can't live without a garden and the beauty of plants and flowers. We are also collectors and lovers of vintage and like to give those things a second life. So I choose the sunburst mirror as a background.

This is my initial sketch

At first I made it like my design but I missed something.

It reminded me at those sacred hearts pictures and started to search for inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/Strawlab/sacred-heart/

With that in mind I did the 'sun' again

I like it! It's kitsch (shoddy in english?) but that's my cup of tea ;)

Now I had to show our family name somewhere.

The 2 stars on each side represent my brother and me and my parents.

Ok I've got a question! When I upload my photos the green is waaay brighter than on my computer. Below is the exported version and below that is a printscreen version. Quite a difference no?
