Great effect!

I like it! Very:coolthup

Nice work conbagui.

Conbagui, I like that effect, too. But I haven't seen the one about bread. did you do it? Thank you so much.

Nummy. :3

Thanks, yet again, for the inspiration.

My variation on Pretzel Text.

I just created a seamless pattern (from an image of a pretzel) and used Logo Toolbox to create the filled, stroked, beveled text, with a drop shadow. This is my standard approach to creating any kind of texture filled text. I'll create a seamless fill pattern of whatever texture I'm planning to use.

Additionally for this effect, I used GC shadow to create a slight inner glow and as a final step, just to add a little more depth, I applied a some relief light using G'MIC.

I like your approach. It's a bit more "artsy" than my brute force result.

I find that sometimes, it can be hard to create a seamless texture that works well for the design. It seems to depend on the image from which you're sampling the texture and how the image's surface is patterned.
