another challenge

Ok.. hotshots... draw this one in Xara. This was posed in CD Mag many years ago. Looks easy, until you try. But like the knot, once you get it, it is easy.

No sweat for xara. Took several minutes - but then I'm slow.

Now that I can see both of them together I can see mine doesn't look exactly the same. Still, with a bit more care to have made them the same wouldn't have been too hard. I made mine by subtracting shapes from a circle and then using the bevel tool.

Here's another try. It's not too difficult.

Draw the X and circle, center them, join them, copy to clipboard, bevel them, paste from clipboard, widen the line thickness, covert line to outline, give it a fill and some feathering.

Here's a hyperfunky version using xara's powerful contour tool to generate the swirling colours.

Hi Glen, the shape reminded me of a Medicine Wheel. Didn't take the time to make it look like quill work.

A Medicine Wheel is usually made from a piece of leather and wrapped with dyed porcupine quills, or dyed animal hair.

The colors used will vary from Nation to Nation.
