Please help a newbie

Hi lemelman,
Let me say- you
have drew a line, cloned it, flipped the clone horizontally- selected both
and then used Arrange-Combine shapes-Add shapes.
Well the next step you missed here is Arrange- break shapes
Hope that help you more
Best regards

That looks pretty good to me, lemelman.

It's a pretty wide shield.
Being this wide, is it for something specific, or just a design you wanted to create?

[lemelman]

It's for part of my business card. I'm a jeweller and the shield is my registered maker's mark at the assay office.
I think it's done - but I shall wait before I commit it to cards, just to make sure I don't want to change or "improve" it.



Incidentally, the swarf and filings of precious metal that result from making jewellery is called lemel, hence my userid.
