Ah Wallace - your paisley brushes feature again along with Graechan's Shine Alpha. Paisley on parchment, a good combination.

Thank you Wallace- this paisley stuff is so addictive. :roll:

Anyway, as I can't stop I have at last made a paisley image from scratch - these path things are a terrific tool once you start to understand them. Got a bit carried away and ran it through Graechan's shine alpha filter then put some paisley tatoos on it. Now it looks like a tourist trinket from New Zealand!

EDIT - And one more from scratch with paths then Ofnuts inbetweener ... I think it qualifies as make a paisley :oops:

i'm stunned. i thought it was a stupid move on my part to post this right before going away, i was sure it would sink like a stone - but you've been having a real party here :-). nice job on the paisleys everyone, i hope now the thread exists there will be a new paisley posted every now and then.

Here's another one. This took me a while to do.

Anmal - thanks for comments but this thread is really helping me to learn, especially about paths!

You like the paisley biscuits I made previously so I made some more for you, iced chocolate ones this time in a gold paisley wrapper! Hope you enjoyed your holiday 'up north'.

Wallace - love your green flowery paisley above; it sets me another challenge!

wallace: yay! lovely job you did on that paisley and vine thingy! i love that golden green glow on the edges, looks almost like it was set in gold.
oldmangrumpy: woohoo, my own paisley chocolate biscuits! :yes

i'm not even gonna share them with erisian, he'd just ruin them by having coffee with them *shudders*. the paisley patterned gold foil looks really amazing, grumpy one, you're getting very good with textures

Thanks AnMal. :bigthup

I hope to soon create a few more, but we'll see.

I still recall a very old tutorial on how to make paisleys using Kai's Power Tools. Wish I had this plugin. Not sure if it worked in GIMP or not.

lylejk:wow, that reminds me so much of my old tut: psychedelic paisley machine! hmm... with g'mic and gimp it should be possible to reproduce that KPT tutorial completely - i'll be back! *insert mad scientist laughter here*

Wow, it's great to see so much imagination applied to this simple design. Nice work everyone! Here's some more hand painted stuff for you.
