OK, You know I gotta ask how you did that one. That's sweet!

I duplicated my band layer and filled the dup with a gold gradient, added the text -flip the text vertically- merge
hid one of the layers and ran the map object on the visible/selected layer, then hid the other one and ran it on that layer
then used the eraser on the text band so the other layer would show through
edit: the text needs to be off to the left (was just headed out the door when i saw your post, so i wrote this in a hurry)

Ha, yesterday tried The Lord of the Rings and used the same pattern and inscription I'd found on the net. Good thing I didn't post it here, it wasn't anywhere as good as yours, alc! :hehe

wow, this is an awesome thread - definitely my favourite thread on gimp chat right now :)! i :heart love :heart what you've all been doing here, so i came in to hand out some stars.

the gimp metal star award goes to:


alc59 - for posting the tutorial that started it all
sir draconian - for that lovely ring with all the glittery stones in it - strange how well that would match a tiara i know, hint hint ;)
lylejk - for a ring with a perfectly lovely texture to it - i'd love to have that texture on some real metal, probably not gold, but it would be a dream on silver.
mike - for a daring design :). probably a nice birthday gift for a masochist....
he4rty - because that's billy boyd i see!!!

congratulations to all the award winners, kindly keep your thank you speeches under thirty minutes.

K1TesseraEna - the ring was created pretty much the same way as alc described expect I used the logo to alpha glowing hot script and some other tweaks that I can't recall to get the glow.

draconian: :hoh certified nutcase?!
