A fun tutorial
I’d saved this tutorial since May, and I finally got to do it. I learned a good deal (and remembered what I’d forgotten) about Illustrator in the process. Click on the image for a closer view.
The tutorial is here.
Trying out another theme or two
… and getting into WordPress 3. Here’s something interesting.
Just experimenting around

DSED – Day 55
Well, folks, this Design Something Every Day endeavor has fallen by the wayside in favor of the Circadian Letters over on my calligraphy blog.
I did play around this evening with various gaudy and low-class effects on this Circadian Letter (see the original image here). Let’s see:
- bevelling and gradient color on the letter
- gradient layer behind that, partially erased with the Color Wand
- solid layer in front of that, and finally
- pattern stamped layer in front of that, with Lighter Color blending mode.
Any normal 6-year-old girl would simply love it.

Trying and image in the title for the first accordion thingie.
