The Holidays are Coming

[Burpee]

I started a community Christmas tree and quite a few people have added ornaments to it. I was hoping to get it filled by the time Christmas rolls around. If anyone missed it and wants to add an ornament or present under the tree, here's the link:

bumping......hoping for a few more decorations

The present here sports the first bow I ever made. I was pretty proud of myself when I did it. I still think it looks good but I'm sure I could improve on it if I tried redoing it. Practice makes perfect, right?

Here's an oldie I have on my hard drive.

Or perhaps a stocking to hang by a chimney with care?

About 30 years ago I made these stockings from felt for the kids I knew back then.

Lol, love the toes on your 'sock' How did you get the bow to look like velvet or felt? Is it made for real with real felt?

[Soquili]

Nancy the bow is a mixture of fractal fills and transparencies. Correction, it is a fractal cloud fill. Must have remembered another project.

Attached is a .xar with a portion of the bow for you to examine.

I rarely use fractal clouds but I like the repeat inverted setting. Very useful for me, thank you for sharing.

[Soquili]

Always glad to share techniques. Don't forget to change the fractal resolution and the fractal graininess which are accessible by right clicking the fill with the fill tool.

Here's a little tree from an icon set Im doing at the moment. Happy Holidays!
