Default An eagle needed

G'day all,
My wife decided that I should make a trinket box for her sister
She also decided that it should have and Indian (Native American) and or an Eagle scrolled into it.

Now here's my contribution, I decided to make it in a Figure eight configuration as it's for her sister keep bangles in and she has heaps.

I got an eagle head from one of the free pattern sites and spent a couple of hours mucking about with it so that it would fit in a circle and be cuttable at the smaller scale.

I made up the outside pattern, placed both scrolling patterns on and printed it.

Proudly took it in to show wife

and

She decided it should have an eagle in flight on it.

HAS ANYONE GOT A PATTERN OF AN EAGLE IN FLIGHT THAT COULD BE FITTED IN A CIRCLE OF ABOUT 80mm PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Would be grateful anyone has one they'd like to share or if they could point me in the right direction to purchase one.

I just keep repeating my Dad's wise words. "If the cook's happy, everybody's happy"

I have gone through every font on the site and selected some that are perfect for scrolling. Once I sort them out I will post them

Sorry mate, I have no pictures of eagles. Glad others were able to help there. Now, if you were looking for north pacific seabirds I might be able to help you.
