folk art sun & moon line drawings

[bubba.50]

I have a couple nice horns comin' from a great member on another forum. I would like to try my hand at scratchin' an Americana type sun with corona & moon with star points on one of them. no matter how I type it in & search I can't find a decent line drawin' anything like what i'm lookin' for. any suggestions of a source? appreciate any & all help, bubba.

Scott and Cathy Sibley's book, "RECREATING THE 18th CENTURY POWDER HORN" has some sketches of them in the back of the book. Track of the Wolf sells the book for around $18.95 plus postage. Remember, it's folk art. so there really isn't any set pattern for drawing them, as everybody drew them different. ... Be original and come up with your own!
