Oh ok I went back to the thread and read it again. I will get it set up
soon. I'm sure everyone will have fun playing and learning from it.

The first two are rather too illogical and blurry to my liking (hope
> you don't mind my saying that).

I don't mind at all. I like to have input on things so I can make them
better. They were just testing and playing. The first one was just a line I
used Suz's yarn maker script on. There isn't a used for the image I just
though it looked strange. LOL The second one might be used as yarn with some
work done on it. LOL
I haven't gotten a tread made yet that I am happy with. The tassel looking
one I liked the best but it isn't just right yet. I used a grass paint
brush preset and changed the size to 4. Then I used the half tone filter
then cutout. It still needs some work.

I really like the look that scrip makes. Could be very useful for borders,
or frames. I can see it useful for scrapping too.
Cant wait till you get spruced up.

Nobody ever says this, so maybe it's just me: each time I tried to
think up one method or another in the past, I found that it's pretty
hard to make convincing yarn and rope. Apart from the obvious, like
we don't want the repetition to be too obvious and what to do with
the borders if it's from a scan, there's also the issue of users
wanting them to go in every direction in a logical way. Not easy if
you're working with necessary shadows. I wonder if that's why there
aren't many yarn and rope tubes out there :-)

A little, maybe. I have a hunch you're good at this, and like to
explore and use these more advanced methods.

Question: would you like to see the ribbons and yarns spruced up, or
just the script code (to make it usable for others)?

I agree there isn't much for yarns and rope. What works for one image might
not work for another.
Thanks and I do like to experiment with things.
Either way on the script would be great. I think other would like it too.

Okay, thanks Susi.
