How to create floral designs.

These are the sort of designs I'm thinking about:

The first thing to do is to run the Gliftex program and click on the blue lightening icon:

The image which Gliftex creates will almost certainly not be what you want, but we will go ahead changing a few settings to arrive at some lovely floral designs.

Now, right click on the image and choose "Change Interpretation..." from the menu which pops up:

Now choose Floral from the list of interpretations:

Next you will be able to choose the flower petal and leaf shape and sizes and so on. Put the sliders at roughly the positions shown below:

Then click on OK. Gliftex will create a new image.

The last step is to change the underlying form of the image. We'll use a trellis form. Right click on the image and choose Change Form:

Now choose "Dotted Trellis" in the dialog which will pop up:

Now when you click on OK you'll get this sort of dialog;

Put the settings as you see them above, and click on OK. The image you get will be something like this:

Now, your next step depends on you. You can continue to right click and change the settings of the form or interpretation, fine tuning as it were. And you can experiment with the colors scheme by clicking on this icon:

Here are some examples of the same floral image on a trellis with different color schemes:

This was just a brief introduction to Gliftex, which can do more than just floral designs (click here for mandala designs). There is a free demo which you can download so you can try for yourself.
