October Wreath - work in progress

#autumn #colours #wreath #workinprogress

Not quite finished but I'm sharing it in case it gives you an 

"I can do this better" moment and to give you a look at the editing process.

I started with a very large letter O from the Penhurst font and added the Scatter leaves filter over a tonal gradient and then added the Lettering in a different font.

Ways I may change or redo this image.

A) different font for October ?

B) a few green leaves or a tinge of green at one edge 

C) maybe some Gimp drop shadow to the png to darken tones and edges?

D) should the wreath be wider? 

E) could I get greens into this by making a smaller green wreath inside the larger one?

F) change gradient to greens and reds?

So Shape Layout Color all need one extra edit.

And I still have to resize it for stickers or a tee?

Or change my mind discard the whole thing and do something completely different! Ah the joys of design! yes I was being ironic ...

Scattered Leaves

#autumn #gradient #bg #inkscape

I made this last year but want to share it again while Autumn is still a theme.

How do you do this?

Make a Square Add a Gradient fill with several stops 

Move the handles so the gradients cross the square at a diagonal

Apply the Scatter Leaves Filter.

I may redo this and change the texture!

Watch for that!

Spring Green

#spring #green #inkscape #demo 

Its spring in my hemisphere so here's a demo showing what you can do with GREENS using various INKSCAPE filters. Remember to experiment with combinations and oh some of the "painterly" effects are in the TEXTURE sub-menu!  Enjoy
