    Nice. This reminds me of string art folks used to do
    when I was younger (some even put them in picture
    frames for their homes).

    Pretty nice! It does look like the string art. And it looks like a lot of work and that would make you tired.

    I agree, unanimous, we all like it, so tell us what plug-ins you used.

    Question Re: Don't ya hate when ya can't sleep :P

    I bet it's Dmitry's Spray, using the Web feature - I did a picture called E=MC˛ using it a while back. Or did you do all those lines by hand?

    eheh, actually no plugin was used minus bevelboss (Eyecandy) on the outter edge. It was just lines, one section was created the rest were cut and pasted and swiveled, the hardest part was giving depth to the + in the middle. But I had a few designs that I played with, cut this out, undo, and redo just to undo.. Decisions, decisions...lol. When I got started on picture I decided to make a goal of using some of what I have learned thus far, mainly with the Combine Shape choices. Thanks all for the nice pats on the back ..

    Looks pretty good to me ace... Next time try drawing a line, cloning it, rotating it 90 degrees and blending the 2... a couple duplicates/rotated and you have string art in 5 minutes...

    Needs a Christmas ornament inside of this one, John. Maybe an eyeball with worms or some Xara soup.

    I'll just rumage through my garbage can and see what chirstmas stuff I can come up with. Thanks for the idea... Tried one thing and crashed xara... Will have to spend more than 5 minutes on it I guess...

    Okay... here it is... My trailer trash Chirstmas Ornament... I couldn't find my can opener, but had to make do with my handy dandy bottle opener. Made a nice star for the top...

    Anybody else wanna give it a go? It's the trailer trash ornament challenge...
