Could anyone help me with Graphics?

[JoviMom]

I am trying to create a graphic of a Crochet Hook by scanning in one of my hooks here at home.

The only programs I have are


Photoshop 5.5
Imageready 2.0
Fireworks 4.0
or the Paint program that comes with Windows XP
I dont want it to be a photo, I want it to be a Clip art type thing...

Could someone here help me? :D :D :D I need this for some commercial stuff I am doing to promote my patterns and classes!

You can contact me privately if you wish!

To the best of my knowledge (and I checked with my husband the web designer), the best way to do it is make a new layer over your photo and draw your hook using your photo as a guide.
Delete the photo layer and work with your drawing adding shading or outline or whatever. Just play with it until you get a look you like.

Maybe someone knows something else.

I also wanted to mention I created the Crochetville hook by tracing an actual crochet hook on white paper (with pencil) and coloring it in by hand with a marker. Then I scanned the drawing.
