GO USA! (Not that I'm into the World Cup or Anything)

So the week before the World Cup started and the US played England, Anne and I decided to make a variation of the revolutionary war battle flag which said "Don't Tread On Me." Of course, that flag was black and gold, and we wanted a red, white, and blue variation to show our colors. So we modeled it actually on the Nike logo of a similar vane.

So with a little of Anne's grid-making free-hand skills and a handy blade she had, we got some fabric, created a design, and hand-painted it ourselves. The star was cut out and sewn on, then the snake, white banner, and lettering is all hand-painted. A little trivia -- the original "Don't Tread On Me" banner was also hand-painted.
