Wow I really like that first one. I don't know why I can't get it to do that for me, but I'll keep trying.

Does anybody recognize this? I took a screenshot of it because I liked it and wanted to try and use the paisley design on text for a bookcover. Unfortunately I have not been able to recreate it and would like to ask its creator if he/she would share it, but the screenshot didn't capture his/her name. Thank you.

That most likely is Oldmangrumpy. He makes all the shiny glass and is in Sydney Australia.

Newtogimp - yes, Pat is correct, that is one of my images and I am happy for you to use it.

You can simply right click on that posted image and copy it or save it to disk (download). If you want something with higher resolution just PM me.

Thanks for responding Oldmangrumpy. Please forgive my ignorance on this if what I am asking is not possible or not kosher. I am creating a book cover and I wanted to use the style you used to create your two paisley figures, to create the text for the title of the book on the cover. In other words, I was wondering if you might share how you made that effect so that I can then use it to make text. I have gone through every glass and glossy tutorial on Youtube I could find and nothing made an image even close to yours.
