A MAGIC vase.....

[TwidderBird]

really cool blend there, Drifter

Seagull, on your yellow vase from 2 seperate shapes #27--that is not from my original light blu vase that you got no dark outline--correct? or if it is from the original I'd like to know

well I'm glad you guys are having a good time and learning, but I'm still stuck. I'm getting better on the gradient fill which was my original frustration.....but I have to ask Egg about this blend tool and your vase2.xar file how did you get that great blend of 50 steps 'cut' and fitting perfectly inside the vase? And am I understanding correctly that you can shape-edit a blend with the shape editor tool?
going very slowly

here's where I've gotton to with a high amount of transparency and a gradient fill. due to amount of transparency had to go back to light color.....

this is not what my goal is for this vase, tho. so will study this blend thing

It would look very nice with a single red rose in it Nance. What are you going to do with the picture once you get it to your taste

Bob like the light/flame in your picture very illuminating don't you think.

NORM!!! (hahahahaha) I'm telling you - write and illustrate a children's book!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TwidderBird]

certainly a nice idea Norm. diddo on Bob-- illustrate children's books!

once I get this vase exactly how I want it I plan then to do a series with it as I did with Apples (non-xara gallery). I'm being very particular with it cuz this vase sits up on the bar-counter right in my view (as well as a bunch of other vases) while I work on the computer.

[TwidderBird]

been playing with Egg's instructions and this is my first go at it......not quite right yet as one can see

thanks, Bob, I'll use your version to toy with as well-- but done for today

Norm, sooner or later I'll have a vase complete with red rose you can give your wife

Okay,

Here's a tutorial that's only going to be here for the next 36 hours. I can't leave it here permanently as it would steal all my bandwidth.

Sorry about my non dulcet tone.
