It started with a shamrock behind the crown but that was getting too messy looking and hard to see the image I wanted to make with so many things so close together. So, I took out the shamrock. I’ve wanted to make a claddagh for a long time. I have a few attempts in the past. This one turned out pretty good, I thought. Then, I realized it also looks like a bird wearing a crown. Now that I’ve seen that I can’t really see the claddagh any more. So, possibly another try for a claddagh… The hands were the hardest part. It’s the thumbs of the hands which look like the eyes of a bird (wearing a crown). So, it’s flexible.

International Day of Peace
The dove’s wings are a mess. I got to the point where I was only making it worse.
Found ASCII Bird Art
This page was last updated in 2007 (it says). Nice to see the colourized ASCII art. These are all birds by Joan Stark, jgs.
