| | | I started out by using one of the Simple filters called Top Left Mirror, then used Redfield. |

| | | Some more stitching fun. I used a GIMP kaleidoscope filter (only runs in GIMP 1.2x unfortunately) and created the kaleidoscope. I then used the Stitch preset for Impressionist and cut out the result and placed on a canvas texture. I added the outline stitch by using vector means (cheated I did). The outline was then fed into GIMP's bumpmap filter to give it some dimensionality equivalent to the other threads (close enough anyway). I couldn't post the complete rendering here (even the crop had to be saved at 30% quality; still looks surprisingly good. The following link is nearly a megabyte, so just be aware of that (saved at 80% quality to keep withing ImageShack's requirements). |

Palms | I'm sorry Palms, but, like the Lawnmower Man (and until recently that was all I was for my parents;  ), I only deal in virtual realities. |

I especially like the "Projection" and "Kaleidoscope" plugins. Some examples attached. Additional embellishments added to some images.

Palms | Thank you Palms.
The "snowflake" started out as a photo of the roof trusses on my new garage.
This "rug" design is from a picture of an egret wading in the surf. The U.S. Capitol design is from a shot I took in Sept.

| | palms,
no, yer doin fine  the basic idea was to expand the kaleidoscope thread out ot ALL shapes and figures and such. that anyone might use someone else's is just an added extra if folks want.
btw, i like the fuzzy, furriness of your last one there
