If you're old, really old, and an electronics person you should remember that way back in the 50s and 60s panel lamp assemblies were cut glass, faceted like jewels. I always thought they looked kind of cool and nostalgic, they had a nice soft glow that can't be duplicated with today's LEDs. Some time back I was going to give one of my sites a steampunk look so I made a series of lamps somewhat like the ones on the ancient days. After I made them I decided that steampunk probably wouldn't work well with a Christian ministry site and I chose not to use them. I had put a lot of work into them and didn't want to just scrap them so I did what i always do, I zipped them and tucked them away for future use. An example of what they look like and how they look here: http://gms9810.com/jewels/ if you mouseover them they light up. Obviously they can be scaled down, the originals are pretty big. if anybody thinks they might want to use them I've included the zip.

Like the mouseover example GMS; might check your jewels out later (have collected many over the years for lots of fun).

Nice mouseovers Gms9810. Why is your website blocked? Just curious.

The jewels look good! Your link to the zip file doesn't work, though.

it isn't blocked, at least no one has ever said it was and it always works for me. I've had 8 other people in the last week use it and it worked for them. That domain is my catch all domain, I put temporary stuff there and I use it for small temporary projects. My main, serious one is elsewhere. There isn't much on it right now. Hmmm, I can upload them to Gimpchat, thanks for letting me know.

Well, I can't access it because it tells me I don't have permission "403". I saw your jewel mouse-overs, but I am referring to your landing page at http://gms9810.com/

Gms9810,

Those are really neat. Each mouseover effect is slightly different (or so it appears).



Would be interesting to see the lamp images that you mentioned you had designed.

there is no index page there right now, as i said, it's only for temporary projects at the moment so if you just try to go to gms9810.com you won't get anywhere.

Nice!

It is a good reality check for the thread icons I made (using Inkscape) for the Cartographers' Guild:

Thanks, they were one of my first gimp projects. I've always thought that sig you have with the two globes is outstanding work.
