Still and owl since it's the only morph that I've figured out who to do using the Mathmap Spinning Wheel preset that looks good to me. lol

A thread was started recently about faceted text and it led to this (after a huge number of perversions; lol). Don't ask please; way too lazy to figure out my steps and have to see Dad at the physical rehab center in a few minutes anyway. :)

Looks like body armor for a bee.

That's what I was trying to find the name of AnMal. My Mom had fruit in cut glass in a bowl on our table when I was growing up. I was beyond facsinated by these fruit ornaments. Thanks for the words. :)

Again, I appreciate all the comments. To gram; a few years ago, someone at another (and non-GIMP) site that I frequent catergorized me as an experimental retouchest and I liked that title. lol

Just play and you will figure out all kinds of things; you will fun happy accidents on your road to madness (mind road's been over 12 years now). Keeps the mind active. Just have fun is the main thing. Some say things start to get old after a while, but I've yet found that to be true for me and continue to discover new things. Unfortunately, I sometimes have to rediscover new things. lol

To all, have a great day. :)

Hey Lyle, I just couldn't resist. Maybe I could have messed a little longer but I had to see China Roses in your vase for you dining table.

Look wonderful Molly; I wonder if someone could convince a Glass artesan to create such a piece? It would look cool as a vase for sure. :)

I wanted the stems to show from inside but I couldn't figure out how to make it transparent.
I had to try another one. :teeth
