Susan I didn't pay much attention on P52 this week, so I only see your week-24 now. I love that cup and its colors and indeed you were lucky to find that matching gradient, otherwise you had to make it yourself and that can take some time until you get what you envisaged!

Well I would like that lovely map as well because I have done a couple of short roadtrips with my family when I was visiting them. So far I always used Google maps to draw the routes we took, but your map with the states would be a great asset for which I would be very grateful.

Donna I see you have or found the VectorSpiral script! I like that script very much because it gives a unique effect if you use it with text or picture tubes even if you only use a part of it!

Julie very nice! Maybe you can ask Carole for a demonstration of the PaintSplashMask script in the next Q&A. I think if you have some problems with it, there probably will be others too that like to see it in use. Those demos help so much in understanding the way a script works.

Thank you Susan, at the moment I tend to use soft colors instead of very bright ones. By the way we had a couple of summer days but tomorrow the weather is changing to rainy and cold days again...... I used this week's good weather to take a lot of photos from the plants on my little patio for future use. The plants were so happy with the sun, as we were.

Donna this is an artwork, you really outdid yourself.

Rene what a great shot and your layout is very wel suited for this photo! I like it very much. What I said to Anne about not being in the right place for such photos is however true. In the Netherlands the streets and squares in the cities and villages are on a totally different scale as what I have encountered in the States. We don't have many open spaces in our villages. Of course the really big cities like New York are an exemption. I tried to take photos of the moon in my village but, there is always a street lamp, a car or a building obscuring my view; believe me, I wouldn't mind a tree.

After finishing with the Vector Workshop I took a pause because we had such nice weather for a change. This was the first time this year we could sit outside in the evening, much welcome after all that terrible rain. But after a few days I wanted to see what the Argyle-2 script which I won is doing. I love it, it gives so many options qua colors that can be matched to a project. Of course I wanted to use it in a project and I took the Sketch and incorporated not only the argyle tiles but the photo corners freebie by Carole too. Those use the blogtrain color palette for this month and I have the freebie kits from Jessica Dunn and Marissa Lerin where all the elements are from. I don't know if it is clear in this reseized version but the background has a texture. The fonts are Crocus Monogram and Georgia and the photo is by me as usual.

I'm glad you are starting to have fun with those #@*&# nodes! I love the fringe one!

Randy great that you enjoyed the workshop and even greater that you will be able to use what you have learned. When you use it you will getting better in doing it and discover new ways to use it differently.

To add to the fun I had 8 out of 10.

Mary you said you had to put a circle around your map to make a path for the planes tube, but have you considered to hide that path? Hide, not delete!

Rene, where I live we have bookstores a plenty as well as a good library with ebooks and of course they are displayed at shelves or on tables. Because of my eye condition I nowadays only use digital ones, just as the newspapers, but I like going to the bookstore in our shoppingcenter and have a look at the new arrivals! The feeling of a real paper copy is something I miss but I'm glad with the digital opportunities we now have.

V = Vicar of Winkfield Pear, I remembered there was a fruit that started with vicar but I had to use google to get the right name!

Anne nice picture of the moon; you must live in an area without light contamination! I wish could take such a picture but the few times I was in such a place with a full moon, there were clouds!

Susan I think it was a freebie from Carole some time ago and had something to do with a frame of my memory serves me right.

S = Sharon Fruit

I agree!!!!!!

Susan so nice to see you got the hang of it! Once you know how to do such things it becomes easier each time you use it. So don't loose it, use it!

Gerry, that flowertube looks great on your G! I have that one too and it is so versatile!

For the last lesson I made this. I first used the Vector Spiral script, it is a free one and is in a Featured Resources blogpost quite some time ago. I use it once in a while, sometimes with text or other picture tubes. After making the spiral which already is a path, I made the cutouts and then ran the Vector Tube script with a beads tube in the national colors of the Netherlands. I know I did something similar last year but it was among the things I lost when I had some computer problems earlier this year.

Wow Susan you really had fun playing with the vector tube script!

Carole it looks great, congratulations and it must feel so good to see it printed after all the time and hard work you put in to it! When it is for sale on Amazon I sure intend to order a copy, although I'm not sure how soon Amazon Nederlands it will have.

Mary it is in PSP! Go to Effects > Texture Effects > Soft Plastic. I played with the settings and the random function that in the end got a result that I liked. It depends a bit on the colors you use because the effect wasn't very visible on the darker colors I tried. Sadly/stupidly I didn't write the exact settings down. Hope this helps you to get something similar.
