very interesting, folks, I especially like it with the rope brush, I forgot I even had that brush.

Graechan, would you, please, post the rope brush?

Here it is Carlos adjust your spacing to 40 or so to get it the right look

Thanks for posting the brush Molly. Can't get similar results with it yet though. Just slow I guess.
Brush keeps stroking at a large size even though I made it smaller in settings and text larger.

Did you set your spacing? If not they will be too close together and you will probably just get a big blob when stroking.
Here is a little noose where the brush size is 25 and the spacing is 30

Now thatI have discovered the brushes dialog/settings, I think I am learning the ropes ...



... but sometimes things get a bit knotted up ...



... so I need more testing yet!



That one looks like a biscuit with icing! Great script Graechan - its teaching me a lot of new Gimp stuff.

Graechan - thank you ... but what have you done to me?? Finding out about brushes/settings et al I found that I could also create a brush; so I did from the coat of our Borzoi in an image where I used your terrific WISPS script.

So now I have a new 'textured brush' (who needs rope!) and I tried it out ....





WOW the fun just does not stop!!

there a lot of settings for brushes
aren't there, but no matter we
think your work is great quality

Thanks, Molly, for the brush and the tip of spacement.

Same spacing setting and size 6 brush and I got this?

What am I doing wrong....it is really frustrating me now.

That is the rope brush.

Thanks.
I have tried it a couple times. Brush still comes out large (actual size of the brush) but spacing is closer (naturally) In other words it's still a blob and not a stroke around the edge.

Hey Sallyanne, coming from an inexperienced user, I think its obviously an area of trial and error too. I have been having similar problems today getting blobs of colour not pleasant strokes and had to keep changing number of/distance between paths, brush type, size and this 'spacing' thing which I still do not comprehend very well.

However, after quite a while trying a number of different combinations I was able to get what I wanted (refer my post #158 in the path-inbetweener thread) and like Graechan advises my settings ended up right down the low end of the scale. Good luck anywway.
