Here is the Xara X file (version 1d) with the above brushes. Have fun.

Very Interesting John, I never would have thought it was possible to do that with a blend.

I thought this was a really popular thread John, until I saw all the entries (except Judi's) were yours :-)

I'm going to go try that brush right now.

Be It Early So Humble...

I love this thread even though I can't get the blend that is the basis of it to happen for me. No matter how many different ways I flip it, reverse paths, etc. It always comes out as a bunch of spokes radiating from the apex of the two lines. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

John's dot-xar file open and displays his blend on my system just as he intended. I can even modify it - I just can't replicate it from scratch.

Inspired by this thread and Gary's image in particular, I started playing. The result is in the gallery. (Here's a shortcut).
