Week of February 23 - March 1 2003

Free-For-All-Links

Combination of Tutorials:

Floral Plate - by Jan's Designs

Curved Text - by Deoris

 (stupidly, I'd forgotten how to do it)

One of my Amazon sisters is celebrating her two year anniversary with the tribe at the end of this week. According to my calendar, that's the "China" anniversary, so I decided to try this plate.

 While adding text, I realized I'd forgotten how to do curved text, so I took my own tutorial to create the top line. The bottom (oppositely curved) text is actually done with just "effects - geometric effects - circle" and voila.


Ripple Sig Tutorial - by Gie Gie's Web Graphics

Had a few problems with this one, which I'll email the writer about. You can't do this one transparent, either, unless you don't do the back glass mosaic, but I like that part. It was just an all-around good excuse to use that font. LOL


 

Week of February 16 - 22

Animate Water

by Coco Web Designs

Had a great time with this one. The only other water animation I knew used the smudge tool, and I thought this was not only easier to control, but looked better. 

This is David Boreanaz, aka: Angel. I have been meaning to animate the water around him for some time. So, thanks! My friend will be more than thrilled. This is the little copy, she'll get the larger one. LOL

Cutout Effects

by Moon's Designs

This had one small confusing part, where it asked to lighten layer 2 and layer 3.....there was only layer 2. Before you "deselect all" promote the floating selection to a layer. Problem solved.

I chose this beginner one because it was something I didn't know how to do. I use cutout a lot, but for shading pictures, not text. Besides, selections don't really teach a lot; once you've done one they're all pretty similar, even if they are cute. And I use Front Page to make my web pages, and couldn't code if there was a monetary reward.


 

Week of February 2 - 8

Painting a Sunset

by Art by Lyn

Well, it was prettier once I used "Flood" LOL But I liked it. Some good lessons in that lesson.

It's the Halloween bats, btw. I can't draw birds, even little V ones very well. And these, that small, worked great. Then I found the tube of the Eagle. LOL
