those frames are looking very realistic..

you have created some really good maps - thanks for keeping us in the loop as you go along ;-)

That butterfly, if you flattened the fill bits it would look like enameled jewelry.

Yvonne,

A few more environments. To me, this all appears simple. But, I have been making environments for years.

Rich

[molucca]

A few additional environments to fill in the color range.

Inspiring work as usual Rich. Nice.

A couple of leaves. Thought these might make good brushes.

A few black environments from bugs and such.

I drew rectangles slightly larger in width than the frame borders and a little longer to eliminate the end effects. The border shapes were used as clipview objects.

A few shapes to test the map colors.

A weed leaf made into an E3 vector stroke and applied to a spiral. The shape could not be map filled in E3. However, I exported out to PDF and opened the vector file in XXP. Then used EC 4000 to color the drawing.

I tried applying a leaf as an image stroke, but it got stretch too much ans lost the quality of the gloss.

The bamboo leaf applied as a vector stroke and exported out as a PDF. The file had so many nodes that I had difficulty moving it. I did node smoothing in XXP. A little better control than E3.
