Well it had to happen - turned the chisel carve tut books into a movie

Pretty nifty, OMG! I like that.

it's awesome.
Can I suggest something? It's just a suggestion.
cool images and animations should have a "created in GIMP" description below it
so random users of the internet will find it in google images or if they share it, it'll make GIMP well known. some people don't even know that GIMP exist or if mentioned ask what it is and that I have to say it's like "Photoshop" then they go ...ah ok.
GIMP should be way more popular.

I should create a script that automatically expands all layers by a certain height
and add a hardcoded string like "created in GIMP" and then an optional string that can be set by user but will default to "created for gimpchat.com".
The optional string can be changed to for example "using script_name available on gimpscripts.com"
like this one was manually done... but i can be automated to encourage more users to use it..and make GIMP more well known and this a more active forum

Pat & Tin - thanks; try this one Tin ...

Very nice.
I think i'll write a script that adds that text tonite.

This is what i meant. something like this at bottom of image (fine text to promote GIMP and gimpchat.com at the same time)
you can get script from here here

There had to be some point in creating those hat brushes; best I could think of was to open a 'shoppe'

The camouflage posts set me thinking: so here is another use of the hat brushes, inspired by a couple of GIMPER66 posts too ...

That is really very nice, OMG.

I like it OMG, nice effect.

Pat & Issabella - as always thank you; I appreciate your kind words.

I keep reading OMG as Oh My God!

Tin - Careful, in any next life I might be

What if God was one us.... just a slob like one of us...

Tin, I always liked that song!

Been away for a couple of days in the mountains looking at a magnificent garden (Mayfield Garden - Google it!) and also at one of the world's largest private collections of teapots - I thought that would excite you .

So here are a couple of teapot 'stands' inspired by that museum and built by 'chisel or carve' -

Very nice, OMG: The first one reminds me of the pictures on the loose tea tins that my grandmother bought her tea in. Both are very pretty.

Pat -thank you, I appreciate your comments.

Today is obviously a day of following, in another thread following Mahvin and here following the creative lead of Gimper66 (and others) -

Beautiful and very ingenious!

Pat - I have not been here for a while and I missed your nice comment, so thank you
