The xcf attatchment contains all the layers and paths so you can design your own.

nice usage of your cross brushes !

the eight pointed chaos star is great !

i get a very chinese/mongolian/asian vibe from your paisley

too bad the crosses dont line up perfectly when you stroke the path

other than that: beautiful work !!

Thank you both. I should have spent more time getting the spacing right on the brushes. I don't know where paisley comes from originally but I tend to associate it with India or Asia.

How very pretty. Thank you Erisian.

Here's a wiki link about the origin of paisley.

Thanks for that O. I was right about India then.

I believe you're referring to the wondrous elixir of life - the stimulating caffeine drink. :mrgreen:

BTW your thank you is very beautiful.

Thank you. I'm thinking of making some paisley brushes. Just need a nice hot mug of c***** first.

i know

. actually it features part of my latest project: simple mughal ornament brushes. also features a nice font called catharsis bedouin (same as in my glass text).

I'm looking forward to your brushes and I'm going to download that font if it's free. Thank you.

... the ceylon pekoe with a pinch of dried peppermint that i just poured. amazing, you must have a record breaking sense of smell!

and it's a free font, i've seen it on at least three different free fonts sites. don't know if i'll ever get those brushes in a shape to share, though - i've just failed miserably with one.

I downloaded it from DaFont. I hope your brushes work out OK.

I'll go for the ceylon pekoe myself being a tea drinker!!

yay, akky! now there's at least two of us we will surely beat the brown bean-crowd clean, hehe.

Your paisleys came out great Erisian. Dabbled with them several years ago, but never liked my results. Did find a few online brushes, but they weren't that great either.
