    Ok I had to stay up a good deal of the night waiting for things to [mostly not] happen....

    I would not choose to do the wavy line work this way you understand I would use a brush or pen and scan and bitmap trace, but Bob would not allow that here...

    I haven't visited this thread for a while, John I like the cat, but why should you be curling yourself up in a ball?
    Ingenious method, Steve.
    Suvek, I think yours would make a lovely cameo.

    I've been attempting to make the shapes into a realistic looking beach ball, but I have to confess to cheating. Can anyone think of a way to do this whilst conforming to the rules of the challenge?
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    *Make 1st shape

    *Clone, change colour and drag left-side, centre handle to right

    *Repeat

    *Group, clone, flip and shuffle two halves together.

    *Squash shape verticaly if needs be

    I'm pretty much up to speed with your method now, John, and I'm basically after a method of creating a realistic shadow within the rules of the challenge, or some other way of giving the shape a spheroid appearance.
    Saludos,
    Bob.
