Great creation with your frosted glass. :coolthup

What a marvelous scene. I think you captured all the charm of the moment in such a special place.
I suppose that there, you will have the opportunity to easily connect with nature. You live in a privileged place, OMG. :clap

Issabella - as always a big thank you for your kind comments and yes it is a special place.

Contrast_ has just posted a 'glass over text' GEGL plugin. Not trying to be smart here, but it takes me back 5 or 6 years, to when I posted a number of glass related tutorials using BRL and my gemclear emap. Here is an example of the 'glassy text' output that can be achieved.

Those letters are like real glass. Beautiful. :clap

Issabella - thank you.

A mandala created using BRL, but with subsequent colour inversion of specific elements to achieve concave shaping.

Teapot and Issabella - thank you.

Here is a triptych. I've called it 'The city or the bush?'

Another triptych using some GIMP and old OMG brushes/patterns.

OMG, I really like the scene with the Japanese woman. At least, I think she's Japanese :roll:

Looks like I'm on a trip with triptychs.

Well this looks so cold. It seems you have made the proper combination of all the graphical elements here. But from my site, you could have done a bit better in case of color correction!

@ananniamul - sorry but I have no idea what you are actually saying, plus it was a long, long time ago.

Lovely underwater scene, oldmangrumpy.

I hope it's not "the end" of this thread of yours ... :puzzled

I think like Ella. The underwater scene is a great realistic outcome. :clap
