I'm looking for a vector for a circle of rope that could be used for a sandblasted border. Is there any of our merchants that have that included in their packages? If not and there is one available from a non merchant, please email me with the name. Please don't post non-merchants here and start a new fire Other than that I can make my own, but why reinvent the wheel? Actually I tried but the geometry is confusing me. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed today.

1. Make a shape similar to the Bremen Bold letter "S". 2. Size it to the height that will be the border thickness. 3. Repeat it X times with a small space between. 4. Distort the entire line into a circle.
Probably a couple trial & error as you figure out the proper # of repeats, distortion etc. But it really goes quickly and you'll get the exact border you need.

P.S. When I say similar to Bremen Bold "S", I mean you have to tweak the pointed ends slightly so that the shapes will "spoon" together nicely, if ya know what I mean.

Thanks! I'm home sick today and I have the Corel 6 clipart CD at the shop. I'll wait till tommorrow for it or maybe even try Steve's method. I've been trying to rotate a shape around a circle and it is proving to be a pain to get it figured right. Thanks both of you

Thanks everyone...I ended up making one, it was good practice and I learned some. Here's what I came up with. I'm making a mirror to experiment with the angel gilding chemicals. I plan on depth blasting the rope border and leaves in. Should be nice.

My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

I had to do a similar one a couple of years ago and remember having to pull out the (egad!) corel manual to figure it out. It WAS fiddly but I finally figured it out too. Do I remember how? No way. Good thing I saved the manual.
