Fleur full

This is a Fleur de Lis motif that I played with the interior on. Gives it a feeling of depth. I left the ragged edges to give the feeling of a stamp.

Fleur de Style

A more elongated and stylized Fleur de Lis that we have shown so far. To me this has a musical feel to it.

Crackled past

How about a crackled Fleur de Lis. I'll be you could walk through hundreds of homes in New Orleans, not to mention France and find time-crackled symbols such as these --the real things. To me it was a matter of using a few filters in the photo editor.

The Purlple and Gold Fleur de Lis

This is my derivative of a Wikipedia image (Raster version drawn by User:Jahernan, vectorized by User:Interiot usi). I have a SVG image of this. Iwill put it up on the internet soon as I can figure how to get a link to it so you can download it.

It has a heradlic feeling to it. I kind of like the purple in gold. Shows off my LSU roots.

Perfection, light and life

Why stick to the same old Fleur de Lis. I thought I would play around with it a little in Gimp. This was the result.

According to FleurDeLis.com the meaning in French is flower of the lily. As a symbol of the French Royalty is signifies "perfection, light and life."
