at last: the "make a paisley" thread!

[AnMal]

wallace: if there was a smiley taking it's hat off i'd post it for you! that is one unique paisley, brother! and so clean looking.
oldmangrumpy: you don't waste any time, do you?! great job on that, as usual!

[molly]

Today I found a way (accidentaly!) to create clear glass strips along paths so I embellished a test paisley I made from one of Wallace's new emaps -

EDIT - and now I have checked out your GMIC 'glass' technique; Anmal you are a genius

Do you mean like this...

Thanks AnMal.

Anmal & Wallace - try out this link for the 'bush' pottery http://www.barkalafarmstay.com.au/pottery/

I have been there and it is a quality travel destination (as are most Aussie locations)

OK now for some more glass paisleys - first one using Anmals drop water technique ...



... and one sort of created from scratch using BRL

[AnMal]

molly:
wallace: yep, that's it!
oldmangrumpy: lovely glass paisleys - yet again! where is all your boring mediochre looking stuff? the drop water one looks a lot like amber. nice pottery too, i immediately fell for a dragon mug.

[oldmangrumpy]

Anmal - so having bombed out on your tut (other thread) I sought comfort in glass paisley (well what would you expect?).

Having spent all morning planting some new standard roses, I could only think of thorns and flowers ...



... and then about pharoahs and elves and a glass paisly sarcophagus (hope Erisian does not take offence!!) ...

[dinasset]

quite terrifying....

[Erisian]

OMG - nice work! Pharaoh looks good in that glass paisley sarcophagus and I love the textured background too. No offence taken - people are welcome to use any of my work as they wish, I only ask three things - don't make money out of it, don't claim you created it (my work that is, you are entitled to claim your overall composition is your own) and if you intend to use it for "politics" or religion, check with me first.

[Odinbc]

oldmangrumpy, The first one looks tasty.

[AnMal]

oldmangrumpy: they sure are beautiful! i like the pharaoh very much, that really looks like you've encapsuled him in glass. like the laquered red texture of the other paisley very much too.

[oldmangrumpy]

Erisian, Odinbc and Anmal - thank you; I am just having so much fun

Anmal told me to keep posting ... so I have to do what I'm told ...

[Issabella]

Well done OMG. Please, keep yourself creating paisleys.

I post my last glassy one.

[AnMal]

oldmangrumpy: delightful . i like the shiny black and white against the dark blue tones of the background! of course you don't have to do as you're told, admit it - you just can't keep away from the paisleys !
issabella: oh, there's a gem sunflower in that paisley! i like that, i would want to wear this paisley as a brooch.

[Issabella]

Thank you so much AnMal.

[oldmangrumpy]

Issabella - terrific image, I really liove the horizon like depth you achieved on the inside of the paisley

[2-ton]

I missed how to do that background that so many of you are doing (the colorful rays). Could a link be provided if there is an instruction for that?

[oldmangrumpy]

2-ton - it's 'gradient flare', one of the options in Dinasset's 'glass frame around an image' script.

[2-ton]

Thanks for the info, got it downloaded!

[oldmangrumpy]

Pouring down with rain, thunder and lightening too, so I could not get into the garden, but I was thinking of roses ... trouble is they disappeared and turned into sink holes

[Issabella]

Thank you OMG, nice you like it. I like your stroked with roses. Nice colours and presentation.
