    I did realize you created a potato. Certainly looks like one. Trying to be funny I called it a pizza.

    In grade seven I took a potato gun to school. It was confiscated and I never got it back. I'm sad just thinking about that.

    Ohhh I remember potato guns. Nowadays that potato gun would result in a lock down!

    Don't they call those wart-like bumps on a potato "eyes"?

    I think so. For fun I drew an iris-like thingie using nothing but the supplied shape and a few circles. As you can see in the zoomed view - there are thousands upon thousands of copies of the original line. The design was built up using one blend on a curve that was then repeated many times with symmetrical flips and rotations, and then with scaled copies one on top of another using stained glass transparencies. I like the bank-note like etching effect created by the many lines. This took about 90-minutes of playing to create.

    Looks great Ross. I'll have to take your word for it that the scribble line is there because I cannot see it.

    Here's how it was made Larry. In the above images there were likely 136 copies of the blend - maybe more 'cause I didn't count. Given 75 steps in the original blend, there are at least 10,200 lines. I always thought it was cool that Xara used to describe blends as "Zero Blends" because the blends use practically no memory. Try to replicate in another program and it likely would become a very unwieldy file.
