Talking Re: Rhinestone designs

If I may....

Oberons Fit Object to Path (macro/VBA) can be used to help make your Rhinestone patterns.

Draw X number of circles across, then your line. Curve the line to whatever direction suits. Select those circles, then the line, apply Fit Object to Path.

This works pretty good forstuff like that, i'd think. I've used it plenty of times for similar issues but not Rhinestoning.

Can you dig it?

Alex's marcros are a blessing. Another option is to create the rhinestone graphic (pattern image) duplicate and blend the two together. Apply the blend to your path and modify the steps.
Or create your own custom spraylist item and apply to your already drawn paths or just draw using the sprayer.
Here is a real quick one

Default Re: Rhinestone designs

Thank you for the tip. I took a diamond ring and cropped everything but the stone in Photo paint. i then duplicated it, gave it some "blings" and saved as a pattern fill. I then took the star tool and sets the sides to 16 and the sharpness to 5. It gave me a "stone looking" object. I then filled it with my diamond and got rid of the outline.Your tool came in handy because I then applied them to fit the patch.Here are my results..Thanks again..

Default Re: Rhinestone designs

Great tutorial, Fluid! But I am struggling with getting the the type to look like yours. Once I apply the sprayer it looks like a random mess - not a definable blinged-out text image. I could seriously use some help here! I have my first market in four weeks!!!

Thanks!!!
Kimberly
