Popular Post Foxfold Posted September 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Just had to share. I actually made my first ever pattern. My undying thanks to Travis and his video, which I must have watched a hundred times. Watching the video on one tab and having Inkscape on the other tab, Travis talked me through it stage by stage. I'm really quite proud of myself Edited September 10, 2018 by Foxfold John B, Sam777, Scrolling Steve and 15 others 14 4 Quote

RabidAlien Posted September 11, 2018 Report Posted September 11, 2018 I'm workin my way through the Inkscape tutorials now myself! There's a healthy sense of pride and satisfaction at creating a pattern, then cutting the pattern, yourself. Foxfold 1 Quote
rdatelle Posted September 11, 2018 Report Posted September 11, 2018 Great job Brenda. You did better than I did. I tried making one wit photoshop with no luck. I think it was because it was on a Mac and the tatorail was for windows. Foxfold 1 Quote
heppnerguy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Posted September 11, 2018 Those signs are actually a lot of fun to make and after you make a couple more you will find that you can whip one out in just a few minutes. They are extremely popular signs right now. You did a really nice job with yours. Make a couple more and then you will have a really nice gift idea for all your family and friends on Christmas. Everyone loves them Dick heppnerguy Foxfold 1 Quote

Oh Heavens,, I don't have any skills ,,, I had Travis and his step by step video... I was just so pleased that I could concentrate long enough to actually make a pattern. Mind you I won't tell you how many times I watched it before it sunk in to this brain of mine. But thank you for such a lovely thought. Brenda x Edited September 15, 2018 by Foxfold Quote
RabidAlien Posted September 15, 2018 Report Posted September 15, 2018 One thing I'd recommend from my own pattern adventures, I don't think Travis mentions it in his videos....occasionally, to check and see how many islands I have left to bridge to, I'll use the paintbucket tool on the pattern and color in the parts that I want to save. Ideally, it should turn the entire pattern that color (I use red or green, depending on whether I'm keeping the black or keeping the white...red contrasts well with white, and green contrasts well with the black, making the islands really pop out). Then just CTRL-Z to undo the paintbucket to go back to regular B&W. It looks like the upper loop in the ampersand may need to be bridged. My first pattern, I got about halfway through actually cutting it when I ran into an island that I had no idea how to bridge to, I'd already cut away too much. After that, I started the paintbucket check. Quote

Yep, you are quite right, luckily, although I'd printed it off and stuck it to wood, I hadn't started cutting, so went back to the video LOL. I'll try the 'colour' tip next time I have half a week to make a pattern Although I'm hoping that I'll get quicker as time passes. RabidAlien 1 Quote
