Flo, you nailed it!

Nice job Flo..

I'm glad someone took the time to try this out. I know it's a lot of steps, but I think the results are worth it..

I'm still waiting to see someone tackle a multi colored version.

Right , when you say " tackle " , I understand why now ....

Well , in fact , that was much more work than I first imagined , especially to get a pleasing result for the eyes .

Anyway , here is what I got :
( " flat textures " , not crumpled , light and deep colours versions .
1200 * 1200 pixels )

Nice job..

If was easy then anybody could do it.
Being willing to go the extra mile is what will separate you from the pack..

Hope the idioms translate ok for you.

Thank you for your very kind comments , Bob .

....Being willing to go the extra mile ........

My new try now , is just “ one little foot forward “ ….

So , I tried to add some new variations ;
little patterns ( dots ) , not " even " , weathered , and shaded .

Original file is 6.44 Mb - Inno file must be less than 200 K .
( some definition and details have been lost on the way … ! )

Thanks for looking ,

cheers ,
flo.

Nice plaid look, Flo! I wonder what would happen if you alternated vertical stripes and horizontal stripes to make a colorful plaid...

Took this grunge version that I did of Phyllis and converted it to this.

Used Neon Edge detect and AAA's Good Vibrations filter to create this one (some other things too of course).

Haven't stitched anything in a little while, so I played with a few various programs including Mathmatica (for the base pattern which I made seamless in GIMP) to create this colorful lace. The graphic show doesn't really do the result justice, so I'm including this link (2.88MByte) hosted my MediaFire.

Went ahead and created another version for Phyllis (embedded here; slightly smaller). Added the stained wood backdrop since jpegs don't support transparencies. This one is very highly compressed, but still doesn't look that bad. It's still seamless.
