    This is a question DIY Mavens around the Hive.

    We're planning a destination weekend at our favorite beach resort in Florida and I'm thinking about doing a citrus theme kinda...limes, oranges and lemons in the centerpieces, on the invites, etc.

    This is my inspiration...

    (That is a guy shucking oysters and my husband (this is for our vow renewal) is in LOVE with the idea.) 

    Anyway, I am trying to find picture or drawings/clip art of lime slices, oranges, lemons, etc. to use with my gocco, for my invites (which will be letterpressed probably) and I'm not sure where to look or what I need. I just got my gocco, in fact it hasn't even arrived yet and I also don't know a ton about letterpress, so I'm not even sure what kind of image I'd need.

    Help! What am I supposed to be looking for? Where should I look for it?

     

    Thanks!!!

    I don't know what you need, but microsoft office clipart is a good place to start looking for images!

    I would look for simple line art. Vector images and very high-resolution bitmap images are a best because you can scale them without losing quality.

    Do you have Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop available to help you edit pictures? If so, you can use them to turn photos into line art. :)

    You could also look into stamps, or maybe look on stock art sites like istockphoto.com or shutterstock.com. HTH!
