Travis Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Halloween is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Scrollers are starting to think about gifts and patterns to cut for loved ones. But since the Holiday season is also about helping others in need, we thought we'd continue the tradition we started last year. SSV put together an e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. These ornaments will be exclusive to this eBook and designed by our talented SSV members. Folks are can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to a charity. My hopes is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes, and provide some cool patterns at the same time. So I'll need some volunteers to design some ornaments. [*:2pwfpsg2]Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less)[*:2pwfpsg2]I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book)[*:2pwfpsg2]Designs must be emailed to Travis by November 21st (info below) A few things to keep in mind: [*:2pwfpsg2]Religious and secular designs are accepted.[*:2pwfpsg2]Other religions also celebrate this time of year, so lets not forget them.[*:2pwfpsg2]Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. What do you get in exchange? [*:2pwfpsg2]Credit for your design.[*:2pwfpsg2]The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: [*:2pwfpsg2]Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com)[*:2pwfpsg2]Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & White only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook.[*:2pwfpsg2]I'll also accept Inkscape files (SVG). This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way there is no conversion. I'm designing. Are you? So who's in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oges Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Travis, I've done my ornaments and emailed them to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Cool. I got them, thanks Oges! Who else is willing to design 5 ornament patterns? Beginner and experienced designers are all welcome. I'd love to get at least 25 ornaments added to last year's ornaments. That would make an ebook with over 50 ornament designs! All it takes is a bit of time and you'll be helping charities this Holiday season. Who else will commit? Raise your hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 C'mon Designers. I know you're out there. 2,529 people have watched the GIMP tutorials and 1,260 have watched the Inkscape tutorials. We need a few more designers to donate to the Ornaments For Charity ebook. See the first post for details on how you can help. Post here to commit to 5 ornament designs by Nov. 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Reminder that ornament patterns are due next Monday. So far, only Oges has submitted patterns. I'd like to have at least 4 more designers add to our annual Ornaments For Charity eBook. All eBook "sales" will benefit charity this Holiday season. Who else will help out?

Travis Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Last call! So far it's only Oges and myself. It would be awesome to get at least one other person to submit ornament patterns. I'll be accepting patterns through the end of the day today. Tomorrow morning, I'll be adding the ornaments to our e-book and making them available for donation to your favorite charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
