Due to overwhelming public demand (well one GC member anyway) here is another dotty mandala, in the centre of which is my portrait of David Gulpilil, an Australian Aboriginal actor and dancer of Yolngu descent. He featured in that international blockbuster movie 'Crocodile Dundee' but sadly David passed away 3 years ago.

Had a play with one of my own and favourite gradients together with the 'Map object' filter.

Ella and Issa - thank you.

Another image using another one of my 'burntcloud' gradients.

I'm hooked right now discovering the terrific and different curved shapes that can be created using "Map Object - Sphere", especially when the source image for the filter contains one of my gradients.

Another one with all shapes from Map Object/Sphere - more GIMP play even on Christmas Day :hehe

Very interesting what you are creating with shapes and gradients. Thanks for sharing. :bigthup

Issabella - thanks for your kind comment.

Given my old thread Patterns -Glassy Islamic Tiles (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=19356) has popped up again, I had a play with some geometric shapes in glass and wood.

An old trick for the eyes, hallucinating again - is it a candlestick or two young aboriginal girls or both.

Issabella · **Posted:** Sun Feb 02, 2025 3:29 am **(#1138)**

Yes! I can see both images and Both of them are great! It's clever! :hi5
