Ok,
So I am redecorating my bedroom, and I wanted to subtly add some Firefly/Serenity elements. (Nothing flashy or obvious...just some chinese calligraphy in a collage with some leaf patterned fabric, torn paper, chinese coins, leaf jewely...you get the idea.)
I found a good source for some calligraphy and have already made some cutouts of the characters for LOVE and GOOD LUCK, but whenever I search for the characters for SERENITY, I keep getting different results!!!
Anyone know where I can find a good, high resolution image of the Serenity characters that is nice and clear without other stuff on top of it? I need to make a stencil and this is frustrating the you know what out of me.

And here is how the wall looks with the 2 done. The other one has the calligraphy text for good luck. Instead of a leaf, it has a gold sand dollar...I used it because it was the same size as the leaf.
This one is titled...
"Then I get Paid."
My tribute to Mal and Capitalism...hee hee hee

Would love to see anything else you come up with.

Thanks for the feedback.
The whole reason I had to redecorate the bedroom is because of my girlfriend. She bought this really neat comforter set for $35...it was originally $300! (That girl can SHOP!) Anyway, it did not match her new furniture, so she wanted to get rid of it, so I took it. It is a sage green with dark green accents. It totally clashed with everything I already owned.
Not having a budget for a complete redo, I used material scraps, old picture frames, paper samples, some gold spray paint, and broken jewelry pieces to make-over what I already had in the new color scheme.
I was looking for the SERENITY calligraphy so I can decorate this blank hanging fabric panel (has a dowel, fringe and everything...Goodwill, 79¢) I will put on the back of the door. Or maybe sew it on to an accent pillow. Not sure yet.
Hubby really likes what I have done so far and has not even caught on that I am FIREFLYing the bedroom behind his back...hee hee hee
