    Hahahahaha... thanks Egg. Yes, I believe I used it ONCE - and then only to see what it did. It was a gift...
    About all you can "iron" with it is a tie, and a skinny one at that!!!

    Bob, well drawn as usual. You could use it for steaming open letters or maybe remove some of those irremovable labels.

    There is one thing about that drawing I couldn't get right... the wire/cord.

    Why does the top edge look like that? It does in XaraX too.

    The cord is simply a blend.

    Thanks for the nice comments guys.


    .....meanwhile, later....

    okay, i just saved just the cord part and am uploading the .xar file in case someone wants to tell/show me why that edge is not smooth

    You're welcome.

    I copied the image into Xara X and removed the cords and added my own.
    No jaggies - dunno what I did different to you though.

    Sorry, posted that last before you posted your Xar file.
    I didn't use a blend ... does that make a difference do you suppose?

    Great drawings Bob. This thread is a tribute to your skills as each image has been a challenge in creating the textures and perspectives.
