Ella – here you are, my quick attempt at your apple aquarium. Hope you like it and thanks for the inspiration (again).

The Granny Smith apple comes from a very old Gimp tut by somebody I can't remember now and cannot find it on the GC site. Originally I turned the apples into various types/colours and made brushes of them. I did though yesterday create some new leaves for the stalk.

The water drops (obviously need a bit more practice!) come from a tut by Molly from 2014. If I remember rightly Wallace made some brushes from that tutorial.
Oh dear ... a Blender challenge again :hi5

Thanks, lylejk

Good job with the apple, OMG :bigthup

I'm always surprised how you copy my creations in your own specific way.
Good luck with the Blender challenge :clover

Wasn't the apple tut by Conbagui?
And I think Tin turned it into a plug-in?

That's right, quietreader, it was a tutorial by Combagui.

Wow, well done, OMG :clap

, and in such a short time.
I can see your love of glass in it

Ella- it is good to see your neat images, especially at a time when I am lacking inspiration; that probably means another challenge for me :hehe

Ella - my GIMP version of your drink bottle. Thanks again for the inspiration you and your images provide

Great to see you back Ella...
Great outcome .
Has the Blender process become any faster now for you?
One of these days I may have enough time to explore!

That was indeed my intention, OMG.
And every time I'm amazed at how well and quickly you recreate the Blender creation in Gimp.
Well done :clap

Thanks skinnyhouse.
Fast still doesn't work for me in Blender. If it's been a while, it's back to searching where all the buttons are.
Without a detailed tutorial, I'm still lost in Blender's vast array of possibilities.
I admire those who take the time to write a tutorial for amateurs like me.
Good luck trying out Blender in the future :clover

Ella - here is my 'quick' response; It is OK for a starter, but doing it again I would create more 'ribs' on the handle and make them thinner.

Another successful project, OMG :paint

Even if you think it could be improved.
I have some more Blender work in a folder, but I can't remember what I already posted on Gimp Learn.
There you also recreated several of my work.

Ella - Beautiful and evocative image as always. The boot house is excellent, but I also love the birds, balloons and fauna in the background. :jumpclap
