at last: the "make a paisley" thread!

AnMal · **Posted:** Wed Jul 08, 2015 3:30 am **(#1)**

erisian made a totally hand drawn paisley here and started oldmangrumpy on making a whole bunch of his own paisleys here. lyle has been "filtering" paisleys, sallyanne has g'miced them, wallace has been purpling paisleys and as most of you know by now i have been doing putting them through every gimping technique i can think of. so we really, and i mean really needed a thread where we can all post our paisleys! make them from scratch, using paths, free-hand-drawing or any of the paisley-making techniques we have tuts for here on gc. or use brushes or paisley pictures and play with them in g'mic or using any of the gimp filters - the important thing is, when you come up with a really nice paisley, post it in this thread. happy paisling (matera came up with that verb, i think it's a great invention) everyone, here are my first two contributions made by using the paths tool in gimp and some quite basic gimping tricks.

Inkscape and gimp.
I can't attach svg (?). Oh well, the inkscape file is in the attachment if someone want it.

I like the orange paisley, it has a 70's look.

I was trying out Graechan's 'shine alpha' script last night and look what popped out -

What paisley brushes?
You must be mistaken OMG, I've never made any paisley brushes that I can remember, or did I?

BTW... Nice shiny paisley design. :bigthup
