Thank you OMG and Dinasset.

Gimp is just so much fun!

Flying home from my recent holiday, I dreamed that I was looking out through the aircraft window ...



... and anyway I like 'loony tunes' backgrounds!

Yes, OMG, that background reminds me of Looney Toons, lol.

2-ton: I Think any of us that grew up with Looney Tunes would have caught the association quickly!

nice outcome, OMG, and well in preparation of Christmas' Night...

OMG, I like your Christmas interpretation a lot. Very smart.
2-Ton, your outcome is really perfect, I like everything in it. Well done

Wallace, it's simply brilliant your signature.

I followed 2-ton's link to the 'adult coloring page' downloads (a bit worried about that description at first ) and I looked at the mandalas, one of which had many hearts in it. it gave me some ideas but I wanted something a little different from what was there. So I made my own ... trouble is that somewhere in the workflow it stopped being a mandala and became a plate....

So here are some ornamental glass plates, some a single hue and others multitone ...





... oh well!

OOH, I want those plates omg, I WANT those plates!!!

erisian: well you're not getging them, so there! I SAW THEM FIRST
oldmangrumpy: they are amazing!!!! i want all of them! great job on the basic mandalas, great job on the glass making - ten out of ten. you wouldn't want to sell them to erisian, he's not cultured enough to understand the finer aspects of design, unlike some other gothenburgers...
i like the plane window too, very creative use of that line art.

Anmal & Erisian - thank you; you both inspire me.

I am just learning so much about GIMP, its capabilities and good practice, simply by pursuing this glass fetish ...

... about serendipity and how forgiving GIMP is when you make a mistake and somethoing unintended turns up



... about how to get reasonably thin BRL outlines (no bleed)



... and the value of paths in making a glass brooch



... all learning should be this much fun.

Those are brilliant, OMG! I love specially the transparent white crystal look applied on them. You enjoy creating them and we seeing them, too.

Nice work as always omg. The top one looks like a glass pomegranate.

Or a wooden and glass lotus pod!

haha, 2-ton, that's just what i was going to say
oldmangrumpy: they are all beautiful and up to your usual standard, but the first one is really special. it sort of draws you in and you want to go back and see it again.

looks like a pomegranate to me Eris, I used to eat them off my Grandfathers tree down in Boynton Beach Florida. Nice job

Glass and wood, too much fun. Now my problem is that I have quite a few e-maps that are merely numbered, not named with a hint to their color. So I just clicked blindly and this is what I ended up with. Combo of wood, glass, and shiny.

Issabella, Erisian, Anmal, 2-ton and Molly - thank you for your comments, but pomegranates and lotus pods are a pure coincidence ... I think!

2-ton - random wood/glass components in an excellent BRL mandala? ... obviously the way to go! I really like the colour of the 2 sets of green petals.

OMG: Amazing clear crystal look on your creations. I don't know how you can make so many, and so different!

2-Ton: Very beautiful and appealing. That would make a lovely broach for a coat or sweater lapel.
