    Default Text as graphic

    Using mainly text, type a word or short phrase and make the graphic elements of your text visually describe the word or words. Hope I've made the instructions clear enough. I've attached an example for clarification.

    This seems interesting... thought I'd give it a quick try (or two) too.

    Hello Frances

    Thanks!

    Re: Blender

    Yes, the first and third ones (Horizon and Holy) were made with Xara and Blender. The second one (Chrome) was made solely in Blender.

    The last two pictures (the floating "Bobs") were made in Blender. The lifesaver, I made from scratch... a (white, flattened) torus for the main ring, which I added the very slightly larger red sections. The rope around it was made from a very skinny torus, which I then deformed so it looked like the rope hangs down in between the securing rings (four, each of which are two differently-sized half-toruses).

    Here's another one, made entirely with Xara...

    The fur should look familiar to you. (took the easy, Eye Candy, way)

    Here's another Xara one...

    Good job on the chocolate, Frances. Just my luck, there appears to be none in the house, presently!

    Peace
