I had a heck of a time making this image.
Anyone willing to take on this challenge, to create their version of this image?

Hi Wallace - does this count? Thought I would try a different loop.

Sure it counts, I can't see why it wouldn't. :bigthup

That looks like a pain in the neck. But very effective.

And now, the Mobius-Strip.

It was a tricky one, especially that there is no way to rotate paths. So, I did stroke-path and then rotate the stroked lines. Unfortunately, that did not give smooth lines as seen in my image.

Cheers !

Joseph

Hi Josephbupe - just thought I would assist, because my original mobius strip above was actually generated by rotating the initial path, twice in fact. If you display the path, enter the rotate function then select the third mode option (i.e the path symbol), then you can rotate the path and of course also subsequently move it into the desired position.

Cheers and happy Gimping ;)

Nice work you guys. :bigthup

Here as some examples I recently made.

Doing these images is great path work exercise/practice.
I encourage anyone having difficulty using the path tool to try this out.

I didn't really have you in mind when I wrote that, but if you're having issues when using the path tool, then yes this challenge is especially for you.
