Assorted shapes

:-)) Thanks, Judy! No trade secrets involved - I'm happy to share with you. I do make my own patterns and I also download freebies from the web. No point in re-inventing the wheel :-) I used the pen tool in CS5 to give the appearance of weaving - that and bevelling and contouring the edges.
BTW, did you receive my email? No hurry to reply... just want to check I typed the correct address!

Chrissie,
This puzzle fascinates me with the frame weaving in and out of bent triangles and the star. I love, love, love it. Can I ask a trade secret? Do you make your own patterns? I am in awe of this puzzle. Also did you cut the frame to make it weave? It's ingenious, whatever you did.

Those balloons can be tricky things, Shirley. Take a pin with you next time and pop the little blighters :-) Thanks, buddy.

I got tangled up in the center, so I didn't make the board, but I did enjoyed untangling myself, great puzzle Chrissie, Thanks. :) :)

I'll share my beautiful balloon with you any day, dearest Pat :-)

Thank goodness for that! Thanks, Mr O :-)

I'm not so sure about this new avatar. Found it yesterday when I was searching for images of nuts and bolts. Spur of the moment decision to change but I rather miss the old fox so perhaps I will revert to type after posting today's puzzles :-)

Hugs happily received :-) Thanks, Josie.

Up, up and away!

The recent health problem did not affect your creativity, Fox.

I like your new avatar-- I guess I'll get over missing the old one. :>)

Love the patterns and textures, and especially the new avatar. Hugs from the outer limits.
