This hawk wasn't actually based on a scanned image. Instead, it's based on a flag
that I made as a gift for my boyfriend to celebrate the second anniversary of our
first date. The flag was made of black and gold satin, and the hawk emblem (a "hawk
rising") was the heraldic symbol of his paternal ancestors. (Those claws were a
real bear to sew!!) It currently hangs in his home, above the fireplace.
