Project 12, Celtic Knots

My first attempt to do something different is worth putting up if only as an example of going too far with stroke (or other things, if they aren't working, instead of moving on) -- the idea was that cursive 's's already look knotted, so I used those -- but the end look is something more like a cross between a snowflake and a tangled old-fashioned telephone cord...

As always, my favorite, last - particularly proud of how everything got finagled well enough to fit snugly on all sides:

Project 11, Involving Paths, Rasterization, and Clover

So, Part 1 looks like this:

From there, it was time to use a circular Path for the letters - I kept Arial Bold.

'Select Similar', Stroke, and Gradients all came in handy.  Then it was time to build a 'structure' - mine came out (to me) like a comet, sorta:

I was liking that sphere work we had done, and I wanted to do a multiple one like in that project.  Here's my favorite:

Project 10, Spheres and Lighting Effects

Each time, I tried to push myself to do something I hadn't before - this was a good one for experimentation. :)

The three go in chronological order:

Ran into problems with merging layers too quickly (and too long ago to recover), but I like how this one came out.

Project 9, Outlined Letter Segment Mirror, Translation...

From a 600-point, stroked outline of the Times New Roman letter 'S', making the crop touch all four edges helped a great deal!

A one way mirrored translation:

I call the colorized version 'All Lined Up'... (couldn't help it -- as you said, without direct intent it took on a life of it's own, so to speak)

Project 8, Circle Combinatorics

 

The way I set this up is, building block 1 makes 2 makes 3...

 



 

Here's my next set of three:

My favorite for last:

 

 

 

 

 

My first attempt looked like this (what can I say, I worked hard, I want to upload) (:

 

Project 7, Photographic Stamps

From an old movie, Faust ('39?):
