[ETW Grumpy]

Thank you sir. This was just what I was looking for.

Thanks Caroline,

The current camera is a Konica Minolta Dimage Z6. Once in awhile I can take pretty good pictures with it. Then when I think I have it figured out, I get a bunch of bad ones. Right now it has a cloudy spot on the lense that I need to figure out how to get rid of.

Happy to be able to help you out Grumpy.

Clay, I want to try some leaves after seeing your tutorial - just great - Does anyone know of and patterns I could find online for leaves without having to buy a book?

Thanks

Hi Clay. I've admired these since you first posted them way back when. What tool did you use for the background texture around the leaves?

Hilly

Hi Hilly,

I used several background tools. On one side I used the pebble background tools from Hidecrafter PA003 and PA004.

On the other side of the leaf I used an A104 (fine texture) and an A188 and A888 for the coarser texture. Glad you like the leaves.

Hi all,

This might be a little late, but I'll give it a shot, Not sure if there's still interest in this topic or "The Mighty Oak" book by George Hurst.  I just purchased one of the last 10 books, held by Jim Linnel from https://elktracksstudio.com. signed my George himself.  Good Luck

Ian, have you tried visiting a tandy store close to you?  the Al Stohlman books would tell and teach you anything you wanted to know. the people that work at most of these stores are pretty good folks. they might even let you trace one of the patterns for free. at the least they might be able to steer you in the right direction. normally you could use one of their " open tables" but I understand because of the virus they have closed the " tables" for now. the books are not that expensive, you might look at them at least..
