Garland Tubes #1

[Brian Dowling]

This family history website illustration features the Garlands Tubes #1.  These are easy and look great.  There is a good selection of festive tinsel here, I just selected green and white across the top and silver around the computer monitor and advent drawers.  I drew lines with the pen tool and then activated the useful VectorTube script to apply the garland to the lines.

 

I wanted paper chains for the connectors from the computer to the points on the map but couldn't find any and got into a muddle trying to make my own so, running out of time, settled for crepe which I definitely remember using at Christmas in the 60's...  we seemed to stick more pins into the wall then!!!
