    Tip from Ross Macintosh

    I don't know if anyone has tried this - you should! It is fun.
    I drew an ellipse and rotated it about 45 degrees.
    I drew a straight vertical line.
    I applied an outside contour (4-step) to the line.
    I cloned the contoured line and offset it.
    I applied a simple blend from one to its clone.
    Selecting both the blend & the ellipse, in the tools for blends I attached the blend to the "curve".

    The result was the neat twisted ribbon effect. I touched up the graphic with some shadowing and highlights.
