Modern and Contemporary Art Leda and the Swan 1923 Marie Laurencin, French, 1885 - 1956 Oil on canvas Currently not on view 1978-173-1 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. G. Chaplin, 1978 |
LabelLeda and the Swan was a popular subject for modern artists, who enjoyed its themes of transformation and seduction. According to Greek mythology, the god Zeus changed himself into a swan to seduce Leda, the wife of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta. In Marie Laurencin's version, which was influenced by her work for the Ballets Russes in Monte Carlo, Leda caresses the swan's feathered neck and back, yet the black railing that separates them suggests an insurmountable division between the sexes, perhaps reflecting Laurencin's own position as one of the few female artists within the French avant-garde.ProvenanceWith Galerie Paul Rosenberg, Paris (no. 758) [1]; with Galerie Druet, Paris [2]; Maurice J. Speiser (1880-1948), Philadelphia, by January 1934 [3]; Speiser sale, Parke-Bernet, New York, January 26 & 27, 1944, lot 93, (illus.); Charles C. G. Chaplin and Louise C. Chaplin, Haverford, PA, 1944 [4]; gift to PMA, 1978. 1. See Marchesseau, Marie Laurencin, 1883-1956: catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, Chino, Nagano-ken, Japan, 1986, no. 234. 2.

Excellent suit
This suit fit very well for me, and I generally have trouble with fit off the rack because I'm 5'9" and 120lbs. The shoulders were wide enough for me, the sleeves were long enough, and the suit looked tailored on me. I couldn't be happier!

text: Modest Bridesmaid DressesWho says modest bridesmaids dresses have to give up style to meet the demands of religious wedding ceremonies? Modest bridesmaids dresses can be ultra smart and stylish while observing the traditional proprieties of venues used for Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox and other religious services. Stylish, upscale bridesmaid dresses in hundreds of colors can be found to fit the color scheme of formal weddings and casual wedding events. For some, a simple addition of a Bolero Jacket can increase the gown or dress to demure levels, while other bridesmaid dresses can be accessorized with a Silk or Satin wrap or shawl for the ceremony and removed for the casual setting of the reception. The key to Couture modest bridesmaid dresses is simplicity in design. The hottest trends in fashion can be mirrored in elegant, sleek designs that allow any woman to wear bridesmaid dresses that are modest, yet retain a quality sense of fashion she will be proud to wear. Designers such as Landa, Pretty Maids, and Bari Jay all carry modest bridesmaid dresses for a price any budget can afford, in styles that are chic and trendy for a modern wedding. Fabric Can Define Modest Bridesmaid Dresses For Spring or Summer weddings, looser, flowing fabrics create brilliant silhouettes on modest bridesmaid dresses. Flowing Chiffon can be structured into many designs to create a drape that never clings to the curves, and allows modest bridesmaid dresses to appear ethereal and stylish. When used as overlays on Satin or Taffeta fabrics, they can add the illusion of lightness to the heavier fabrics, and allow high neck and high back bodices to appear softer and more delicate while remaining a full coverage gown; like the beautiful floor length modest bridesmaid dresses created by Landa Designs Bridesmaids. This Collection of beautiful, cutting edge designs is filled with fabulous modest bridesmaid dresses. With designs featuring flowing Chiffon skirts that cascade from empire waist lines, and drop waist bodices, these modest bridesmaid dresses are extremely demure and elegant in appearance. Satin and Taffeta can be constructed into designs that hold their form away from the bodies curves, yet are feminine and soft in providing a full coverage of bust lines and backs and legs. With long sleeve Bolero jackets' added on, the coverage becomes complete. Pretty Maids is a Collection of superb bridesmaid gowns that offer a wide selection of Satin and Taffeta modest bridesmaid dresses. With high backs, long A-line skirts, and squared necklines with short sleeves, these modest bridesmaid dresses provide the perfect demure silhouette. Again, any gown accompanied by a short or long jacket can increase the level of modesty for any style bodice. Bodice Styles And Necklines On Modest Bridesmaid Dresses Creating a demure appearance certainly requires bodice styles that show less skin or décolletage. When choosing modest bridesmaid dresses your choices will most likely include the following: Bateau Bodice - This bodice style features a neckline that is cut straight across from the tip of the shoulder line. With short or long sleeves, this bodice style is extremely beautiful and can frame the bust lines of almost any woman in comfort and style on modest bridesmaid dresses. Jewel Necklines - This neckline works on Empire or Princess Line bodices extremely well. The neckline hugs the base of the throat for a high neck and back bodice. With a sleeveless style it still provides adequate coverage for modest bridesmaid dresses, yet, it looks stylish with short or long sleeves. Empire Bodice - This style is designed to showcase the flowing style of skirts that fall from the high waist line. With this bodice, the neckline can be Jewel or Tank in style and be lovely with sleeves. Princess line Bodices - Feature contoured bodices with two vertical seams that run the length of the gown, separating the gown into panels of fabric. This is lovely when paired with A-line styles that provide demure fitting skirts on modest bridesmaid dresses. Cowl Necklines - These necklines fold down either around the neck or along the collar bones, giving a soft appearance to high neckline bodices, providing full coverage. Color Choices For Modest Bridesmaid Dresses There are literally hundreds of color choices that can be used for modest bridesmaid dresses! Any one of which is flattering to many women. When your wedding venue is a Cathedral or Tabernacle then your range of color choices may be narrowed. Highly formal religious ceremonies require a certain sense of poise and respect in the wedding party in regard to dress appearances. Modest bridesmaid dresses in soft pastels, smoky colors and subtle jewel tones will work best. These colors are somber enough for the venue, yet colorful enough to provide the bride with a beautiful wedding theme. Using contrasting colors on the modest bridesmaid dresses will enliven their appearance, and allow your personal fashion sense to shine. Ribbon sashes of White can highlight the palest pastels of empire cut modest bridesmaid dresses. Large off center floral accents, in a complimenting color can be quite beautiful on an unadorned gown. Using hand done embroidered Lace or beadwork appliqués along a high neck bodice can soften the appearance and add a touch of delicate whimsy. Hemlines For Modest Bridesmaid Dresses Modern weddings no longer require women to wear the traditional floor length hemlines. While they are perfectly suitable for any venue, some women are choosing Tea-length or Knee length hemlines to heighten the modern feel of their memorable day. In designs that are A-line in style, these alternate lengths are perfectly suitable for any religious venue, unless the Church requires a longer hemline. Pretty Maids and Landa have a wide selection of bridesmaid dresses in a knee length with bodice styles that are demure. These lovely short gowns create a silhouette that is extremely becoming on any woman. Teal lengths are also quite popular as bridesmaid dresses, with their ease of movement in a shorter length, and use of flowing fabrics, these gowns are perfect for natural settings or highly religious venues. The beauty of modern gowns and dresses for wedding party members is their ability to be worn at other events. Modest bridesmaid dresses can be worn for other social affairs throughout the year. Shorter modest bridesmaid dresses can be worn for Club luncheons, Church ceremonies, and even out for dinner on a special evening; the same is true of more formal modest bridesmaid dresses which can be worn for any formal affair. |

Rev. James F. Yates dies at age 85
Managing Editor
Rev. James Yates, longtime pastor of First Baptist Church and community leader, died this week at the age of 85.
Yates was known throughout Yazoo for his service to the ministry and his commitment to civic causes. Through his volunteerism and faith, many remember his love and dedication to the community.
With three decades of service, Rev. Yates was pastor of First Baptist Church for the longest period in the church's history.
"What a loss to so many," said Christy Lynn White. "He was a wonderful man of God."
Rev. Yates was born on Dec. 5, 1926 in Greenville, Ky. to John Cody Yates Sr. and Nancy Ethridge Pendley Yates.
The youngest of six children, he graduated from Calhoun High School and went on to attend Campbellsville Jr. College and Centre College. He later earned his B.A. degree from Union University.
Rev. Yates was a graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., where he attended the School of Church Music prior to earning his Master of Divinity degree.
In 1955, he married Joy Wirotzious of Memphis.
Before arriving in Yazoo City in 1961, he came from First Baptist Church in Paragould, Ark. and had served a previous pastorate at Brownsville Baptist Church in Tennessee.
Rev. Yates served as pastor of Yazoo City's First Baptist Church from 1961 until his retirement in 1991.
"When I came back to Yazoo as pastor, I often called him to ask him for advice," said Rev. David Bryant, current pastor of First Baptist Church. "He would always tell me what to consider. He never told me what to do. But he always said, 'the Lord will lead you. Trust the Lord.'"
Jay Soday was baptized when he was nine years old by Rev. Yates. They kept contact with each other through the years.
"I love his family, and I know they need our prayers at this time," Soday said. "He was a real inspiration to me. He brought me to God. Yazoo has lost a truly great man of God."
After his retirement, Rev. Yates was called as interim pastor, and in some cases to serve as a full-time pastor in Mississippi churches. These included First Baptist Church in Indianola, First Baptist Church in Flora, First Baptist Church in Rolling Fork, Oakhurst Baptist Church in Clarksdale, First Baptist Church in Starkville, Concord Baptist Church in Yazoo County and Delta Baptist Church in Yazoo City.
"He was a light for Jesus in this town," said Loraine Larson.
Aside from his dedication to the ministry, Rev. Yates was involved with many civic duties. He was president of the Yazoo City Ministerial Association. He served as president of the Yazoo City Rotary Club, where he was named a Paul Harris Fellow. He served on the board of directors with the Yazoo County Chamber of Commerce and the Yazoo Arts Council. He was also involved with the United Givers of Yazoo County.
Rev. Yates was very active with the Yazoo City Municipal School District. He served as president of the school board and was general chairman of the Parents of Public Schools. He was also a member of the MAP Coalition.
The community he served also took notice of his duties. He was named Yazoo County's Most Admired Citizen, Citizen of the Year and was presented the Spirit of Yazoo Award.
Rev. Yates served as moderator of the Yazoo County Baptist Association. He was also a member of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board and member of the executive committee, later becoming president of the convention board for two terms.
Rev. Yates also served on various committees in the Southern Baptist Convention and was a member of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. He was also in heavy support of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship on state and national levels.
He served as a member of the Board of Trustees, executive committee and board secretary for Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. He also was a member of the Board of Trustees at William Carey University in Hattiesburg.
He was a man who loved gardening, music, theater, yard work and bee keeping. He also had a special place in his heart for sports, especially the Kentucky Wildcats.
But most remember Rev. Yates for his love and dedication with the ministry. He made several trips around the world to visit missionaries, preach revivals and attend conferences. He would participate in crusades and serve as tour director.
And to many, Rev. Yates was a neighbor, friend and fellow Yazooan.
I remember their home in Enchanted Hills," said Hayes Dent. "We used to skateboard there...me, Jeff Johnson, Doug Hall, Tom Black and others. He was such a kind man."
"He always put me back in God's hands," added Rev. Bryant. "That is the essence of ministry."
Rev. Yates was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Robert Yates, Marion Yates and J.C. Yates Jr.; and sister, Vernia Bradley.
Survivors include his wife of 56 years, Joy Yates of Yazoo City; daughter, Carol Joy Sparkman (Tommy) of Clinton; sons, John Yates (Patty) of Enterprise, Ala., James Foster Yates Jr. (Paula) of Starkville and Jeff Yates (Suzy) of Universal City, Texas; grandsons, Hunter Sparkman of Nashville, Cody Sparkman of Clinton, and Foster Yates and John Paul Yates, both of Starkville; and sister, Evelyn DeLacey (Gibson) of Mt. Juliet, Tenn.
Visitation for Rev. Yates will be held today from 1-3 p.m. in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m.
Burial will follow in Glenwood Cemetery under the direction of Stricklin-King Funeral Home.
Memorials may be made to the church or charity of your choice or to the Music Department at Mississippi College in Clinton.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Marion Sigrest, the caregivers of Mississippi Home Health and the staff of King's Daughters Hospital for their loving care.

Tutorial 1 - Spirogrammes
As the first mini tutorial I start with the basis of a simple spirogram designed with squares. The main components are frame, rotate and blend, nothing else (no controls, no other components). Here enclosed the basis of the method. Note that the images are in black and white to start with ease and get to the essential of the technique used. We start with a frame, which has the following settings: 1. black color everywhere except for the inner frame that will take the white color; 2. margins width : 45; 3. bevel : contour. Spiiro based on squares.ffxml |

Here enclosed the basis of the method multiplied by nine selections or sources giving different results each other. Note that this file contains few controls so you can see for yourself what the settings can give as result. The controls are not remapped and is thus wanted to let you find the right settings.
In this new filter, you will find the same frame component for all sources and with the same settings; also a scale component with a scale control only for sources 8 and 9; a control for the frame width, finally a control for corners. Sure you'll find a switch component with a control selector. Nothingelse. Spirogram method v1.ffxml |
Posted: June 15, 2012 12:09 am | ||
Here an explanatory diagram.
1. Note that the settings are the same for all rotations (Origin X: 0.5, Origin Y: 0.5; Percenage: 100). 2. For all sources (1 to 9), rotate always input to foreground of the blend component and blend is always input to background of the next blend component. All opacity sets to 100. All mode set to lighten mode. 3. For image no 1, all rotations were settled at 0.02 except for the last rotation which was settled at 0,13. The best thing to do is to explore the value of the last rotation. Try to 0,12, 0,15, etc., and see the result. In fact, the last rotation is used to double the final blend, but not always. It depends on the desired final result. At the very end, a final blend is used to assemble the final rotation and blend. (Refer to the filter.) Once done, you can adjust the final rotation, the result is visible in the final blend. 4. For image no 2, all rotations at 0,3 except for the last. For image no 3, all rotations at 0,4 except the last. Image 4, all rotations at 0,5. Image 5, all rotations at 0,6 except the last. Image 6 : first rotation at 0,1; second at 0,2; third at 0,3; 4th at 0,4; 5th at 0,5; 6th at 0,6. Now just see the difference between those images. Result : more highter is the rotation more space we have between squares and less components it takes. |
Posted: June 15, 2012 12:12 am | ||
Here a second explanatory diagram.
Images 6 and 7 show different patterns. (See sources 6 and 7 of the filter.) Images 8, 9 and 10 are related to the setting of the control "corners". (See sources 8-10 filter.) Play with the adjustment, put different values and see the results. Images 11 to 14 are related to component "scale". If desired, you can double even triple the spirogram. To do this, you must reduce the size of the spirogram using the appropriate settings of the component scale. And more you have spirograms to reduce, more you have scale and frame components. These last frames are used to hide what we do not want to see outside the smaller spirogram.(Refer to sources 8 and 9 of the filter.) For those frames, black color everywhere is applied. You also must adjust the other frame's settings. Finally, play with all the settings to see what is good or not. Once satisfied with your settings, you can use remapping for controls that you add for the users or fix your own settings for controls that you do not want to add in your filter. Note that the spacing between spirograms 11 and 12 are different, depending on the setting used for the frame width. FOLLOWING ... the circle in connection with the component scale.

Cool stuff. Keep 'em coming!
I like how you build it with every example. You start with the bare minimum, and each step you add moe things to it. |
Posted: June 15, 2012 5:30 am | ||
Thanks Morgan. Glad you like that. It is a lot of work, double work for me with the english, but when needed, I have my friend google translate but google is not so perfect. I have to correct him.
Start with the bare minimum is the purpose of the exercise. I wrote a lot of tuts on the forum where I'm modo, but it was easy because in my language. As we must be all designers somewhere, we are visual persons who need images : it is more helful for the understanding. Before I continue with circles, we will have to add some colors to the spirograms. I propose few color tricks for that kind of stuff. The following diagram shows various ways on how to add color to spirograms. Sources 1 and 5 have only one color. The color of source 1 comes from the color control input to inner frame. The color of source 5 comes from component hue/saturation which is placed at the end of the final blend (blend input to source of the hue/saturation component). Then you add a slider to hue, another to saturation and you put the desired settings. As for the lightness, you leave it to zero. Source 2 : color added by the threahold component (last blend input to source of threahold and then input to high the same color control as source 1). To low, input a color control and put enabled for image and for alpha. So users will be able to choose their own image, a color or an alpha channel as background. Source 3 : input to inner frame a profile gradient and set colors with 2 color controls (in the filter, color control for color 1 is the same as source 1) Source 4 : a color control input to inner frame (in the filter, I used the same as source 1). Now to the last blend, a slider control input to the opacity and an intslider control input to mode. By clicking the filter controls above the result, you will see what setting to fix by playing with these two new controls. In the filter, the mode for the source 4 was settled to 3(= multiply) for image with green dots and settled to 8 (= color dodge) for the image with 6 squares. Source 5 : (see source 1). Source 6 : here a bit more complex. Add a free gradient that you input to inner frame. You must input 2 color controls for color 1 and 2 (in the filter, this is already fixed). The other settings for this component : set start X and start Y to 0,5. Type must be set to radial and continuation to flat. Then add a slider control that you input to End X and another slider control input to End Y. And set their numbers until you get the desired result (you must see 2 colors for best result). Finally, an intslider control input to profile. Play with all those settings until you find the best results. (In the filter, End X settled to 87, End Y to 30, Profile 4.) Source 7 : a little bit more complex that source 6. Colors come from 2 profile gradients, the first one rotate 0, the other one rotate 90. Now with assemble RGB, input the first gradient to R, the second one to B. Then input assemble RGB to inner frame. This gives four nice colors. But we can bright those colors with level component. So input the last blend to source of level. Then a slider control to black point, a slider control to gamma, another slider control to white point. Finally input a checkbox to Preserve color. And set all these slider controls. In the filter, you will see my settings by choosing the 9th preset (= source 7). Source 8 : I let you discover by yourself how I made that. Note that I input the free gradient (source 6) to outerframe. You will find the difference. |

In this part, the basis of spirograms is designed with circles. The filter contains two different spirograms with the same base (circles). For these spirograms, the main component is the free ellipse. For spirogram no 1: rotate and blend; for spirogram no 2: scale and blend. Note that the images are also in black and white to continue with ease and get to the essential of the technique used. You can also add colors as shown in the post above. Spirogram 1 1. Start with free ellipse with these settings : radius 0,45; origin X 0,5, origin Y 0,5; bevel at contours and squash at 50. Now connect free ellipse to source of an offset component. 2. Offset component settings : offset X 0,2, offset Y 0,14, pourcentage 100. Now connect offset component to source of rotate component. 3. All three next rotate components have the same settings : rotation 0,06; origin X 0,5, origin Y 0,5; pourcentage 100. 4. Add three blend components, all with 100 to opacity. You must connect each rotate to foreground of the blend. 5. Now connect offset component to background of the blend. Note that all the other blend must be connect to the background. (The same as we did for spirograms based on squares.) You must see 4 circles in the third blend. 6. Connect this third blend to source of a 4th rotate and to background of a 4th blend. Settings for this new rotate : rotation 0,25; origin X and Y 0,5. And connect this rotate to foreground of the 4th blend. You must see 8 circles in this last blend. 7. Now we introduce a new component called Flip with these settings : origin X and Y 0,5; and check both flip X and flip Y. Connect to source the 4th blend. 8. Finally, add a last blend (the 5th) and then connect the 4th blend to background of this last blend and flip component to foreground. connect the 5th blend to result and save your filter. Note that all blends must be in lighten mode. I do not post any images or filter today, but in a next post to give you the chance to make this filter by yourself. |

Posted: June 21, 2012 9:30 am | ||
As we will have 3 spirograms, we must add a switch component. To this switch, connect an intslider to selector (you have to rename, example : Choose a spirogram) and set the max value to 3 and check use remapping. Than connect the first spirogram to source 1, the second to source 2, etc. (Refer to the filter.) This intslider control gives to users the choice of spirograms. Spirogram 2 1. Use a second free ellipse with these settings : radius 0,78; origin X and Y to 0,5; bevel to contours; squash 0 and bevel width 2. 2. Add 6 scale components, all scales must have the same settings : scale 0,87, origin X and Y 0,28; pourcentage 100. Than connect the free ellipse to source of the first scale component. 3. Add 6 blends with all the same mode and opacity: lighten and 100 opacity. Than connect the free ellipse to background of the first blend. 4. Connect all other scales to foreground of the blend and all blends to background of blend component. You must see in the last blend 7 circles with different sizes. This result is only the first part of spirogram no 2 and also the spirogram source 3 (you must connect this result to source 3 of the switch component). 5. Now add a scale with these new settings : scale 0,55; origin X and Y 0,8; squash 0; percentage 100. Connect the last blend to source of the scale. Note that you have to space a bit this new scale component, this because the filter needs to get clean and comprehensive. (Refer to the filter) 6. Add 3 rotates and all settings for these 3 : rotation 0,14; origin X and Y 0,5; percentage 100. Than connect the scale to source of the rotate. 7. Add 4 blends with the same settings : opacity 100, mode lighten. 8. Now connect the rotate to foreground of the next blend and scale to background of this blend. You repete the same processus (all rotate connected to foreground and all blend connected to background). Refer to the filter. Note that you must set the rotation to 0,57 for the last rotate component if you want a perfect spirogram with 7 circles. You can play with this last rotation setting and change for 0,60 or 0,40 and see what it gives : very bad spirogram ! 9. Finally, connect the last blend to source 2 of the switch component and see the result. 10. As we have the same settings for squash and bevel width of those 2 free ellipses, and we also want to give users the opportunity to fix their own settings, we add a slider control to squash of those 3 free ellipses and set it to 50 (= 0 without slider control). Same thing for the bevel width : set the value of 2 for the slider control and check use remapping. (Refer to the filter.) Note that I made a mistake by writing 50 to squash in the post above. It might be 0 without slider control (the 50 goes with the slider control). Here enclosed the basis of the method. Examples are coming with another trick ... Spirograms based on circles.ffxml |

Posted: June 21, 2012 3:37 pm | ||
Here the trick that I was talking about.
The only difference between this second version and the first one is in the final. When we have just 3 spirograms, it is not necessary to add a switch component. It exists another way. So in this version : 1. Add a new blend at the end of spirogram no 1 and connect the last blend of the spirogram no 1 to background of this new blend. 2. Add another blend to the end of spirogram no 2 and connect this blend to foreground of the new last blend of spirogram no 1. 3. Now use a checkbox and connect it to opacity. You have to rename this control, example : Spiro 1 / Spiro 2. This will give to users the choice between spirogram no 1 and no 2. (Refer to the filter) 4. To get a third spirogram, add a checkbox to opacity of the last new blend of spirogram no 2. (Always refer to the filter.) You have to rename this new checkbox, example : Spirogram 2 variante or what you want. This will allow users to choose between spiro 2 and its variante. You must connect the 6th blend (which was the third spiro in the version 1 of this filter) to foreground of this blend as shown in the filter. The last blend of spirogram no 1 is connected to the result. That's it and that's all for this part III. Here the second version of the filter Spirograms based on circles v2.ffxml |

Tutorial 2 - How to create hearts
Basis for the creation of heart In this tutorial, I will post 4 different and easy ways on how to make hearts. I share some new ways that I have discovered by playing with the filter editor. First way Create a heart with only four components: 1. profile gradient 2. bias curve connected to profile of profile gradient 3. free ellipse 4. offset to center the heart Here the basis of this first way. Note that hearts in this tutorial come without anything else, just full and simple hearts. You will have to add other components and play around by yourself to discover a lot of possibilities. I just give the basis. How to make heart.ffxml |

Second way
Create a heart with only four components: 1. free ellipse 2. free gradient 2. impulse curve connected to free gradient 4. offset to center the heart Here the basis of this second way. Note that those 2 first ways are already known. How to make heart 2.ffxml |
Posted: July 18, 2012 9:55 pm | ||
Third way
Create a heart with five components and without curve: 1. free gradient 2. free ellipse 2. rotate to get the heart in the good direction 4. scale to get the heart in the good size 5. threshold to get a full heart Note that it is not necessary to add threshold if you just need the contour of the heart. Notice : you might see all settings of each component and make your own tests by changing the settings. See the results. Here the basis of this third way is unknown. That is the way I used for my filter Heart Effect on Photo and Image that you can see here. How to make heart 3.ffxml |
Posted: July 18, 2012 10:20 pm | ||
4th way
Create a heart with five components and without curve: 1. free gradient 2. free polygon 2. rotate to get the heart in the good direction 4. scale to get the heart in the good size 5. threshold to get a full heart Note that it is not necessary to add threshold if you just need the contour of the heart. The only different thing between this way and the third one is on the polygon. As said above, you might try your own tests by changing the settings and see what is happened as result. Do not forget that each way is only a basis and not the end of the filter. The basis of this 4th way is unknown. I have also used this 4th way for my filter Heart Effect on Photo and Image that you can see by clicking the link above. Have fun to whom is interesting to create hearts ! How to make heart 4.ffxml |
Posted: July 18, 2012 10:35 pm | ||
Here's some critique: The 4th ways is probably the "easiest" to think about I guess. In terms of node-flow this is probably the least efficient and not so great in terms of construction. The reason for this is pretty simple: the rotate and scale can be both achieved in the free gradient instead of being dealt externally.
In other words, you use the free gradient to your advantage to do those two operations together. I think your first method highlights that well and that's perhaps one of the best ways to construct the shape since it results in less nodes and more control compared to the 3rd and 4th. I think you did a good job with the first method though. That's the best so far in part because it's giving us the shape without dealing further with complex structures. This allows for more leg room in the future when you or anybody else has to deal more things. Of course we can make tons of ways to construct the same shape but as an author look for ways that's efficient and elegant. I think it overall helps people when the node structures are simpler and therefore easier to deal with. But that's like me for now. Haha this is awesome. Glad tutorials are coming! Keep them going The screenshot below shows basically a simple method to avoid the use of transformation components. In this case, I synced up the start Y of the free gradient and the origin Y of the free elipse component. This allows it so that the gradient can be shifted up or down without worrying about odd shapes happening. |

nice Gigi | |
Posted: July 19, 2012 3:14 am | ||
Thanks Carl !
Skybase, thank you! Thanks to your intervention, I can eliminate rotate component. But for my purposes, I have to add a scale component to increase the heart. However, I still clean your way by removing the step curve which does not seem necessary. Look at the example below. |
Posted: July 19, 2012 9:48 am | ||
5th way
Create hearts with just two components, without curve and without slider control (this 5th way was inspired by Skybase) : 1. free gradient 2. free ellipse You will see a scale component, it's necessary for my needs. You also can see an outline for the heart... it's also for my needs. So I had to eliminate the step curve to get this outline. Before changing the bevel of the free ellipse, I saw that it was not necessary to add a step curve to get a nice full heart. Without the step curve, this leaves free the bevel in order to have the outline of the heart. No need slider control for the start Y. Just set the free gradient at 36 to start Y. But for the outline heart, this is set to 36. Here the 5th way If someone else has other ideas on the subject, feel free to post your methods here. By working together we get to make things better.

Hi Ya'll. It's been a minute. Current Emotional weather: partly sunny with patches of upset, chance of tears with occasional high winds of frustration. Bad hands are causing a stormy and rocky foundation in my mental state via the absence of journaling~GOD I miss that release. And yet I remain…without my most basic tools for self/mental management… I am in a fairly decent place despite grasping to recall a turn of phrase for later use rather than letting go and flowing with the words as now even i cannot read what I have written.
The last 6 weeks have been a revelation, after they were a monumental setback. Soon after going all tube feeding all the time, I lost about 70% of my CAPACITY to do. literally.

Normally, on the Fourth of July, my thought would be to post some pretty red, white and blue rooms. Today, however, my thoughts are elsewhere. I'll be the first to admit that I've celebrated many Independence days not thinking much about the freedom we enjoy or the people that leave their homes and families to protect us. This week, I got a big reminder.
You may have heard on the news earlier this week about the Air Force cargo plane that crashed over South Dakota while fighting the wildfires. I'm sad to say that one of those lost was the husband/father of a sweet family here in our small town. This one hits close to home. We used to live in the same neighborhood, one of their boys was in my son's first grade class this year, and we were even due the same time with our last babies. In fact, they have a three-week-old baby girl, in addition to three young boys. Heartbreaking.
Coastal Living
It's a reminder to me that the stories we see on the news every day are about real people, with real families who love them. And, there are real people out there who bravely go out of their way to help people in need. Please pray for this sweet mom and her kids in the coming days, especially as you enjoy the 4th with your family and friends today.

Deck Drawings
Whether it's a single letter or a 100-foot greeting, aircraft carrier crews stand ready to spell it out.

Somewhere in the Pacific, in February 2009, men of the supply department on the USS Ronald Reagan acknowledged the ship's award for excellence with a resounding blue E.

Regarding deck drawings -- USS Ranger CV-61. When was this photo taken? My son was assigned and did duty on this ship during Desert Storm - 1991 and returned to San Diego. He doesn't recall this event. Please advise and thank you in advance. JDL
Posted by John Lucas on June 10,2011 | 02:07 PM
The Navy archive says that the original photo by Navy PH2 Wimmer was dated December 1, 1988, but may have been taken about a year earlier.
Posted by Roger Mola on June 16,2011 | 10:45 AM
Maybe I missed it in your collection of Deck Drawings, but I didn't see one of my favorites: the crew of the Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) spelling out "Big Stick."
I am pretty sure that "Big Stick" is a perfect description of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Is that picture available?
Posted by Tim Colman on July 1,2011 | 03:48 PM
Thanks for your note. The "Big Stick" photo from September of 1999 is floating around the Internet and easy to find, and you're right, it's a great shot (especially since many schools no longer teach the cursive-style letters the crew used to spell it out). We collected dozens of images and it was tough to choose which to post. --Roger Mola, Researcher, Air & Space magazine

There was a very famous article in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC in the Sixties profiling the Enterprise's around-the-world cruise. The "centerfold" was the aerial view of the ship with the sailors spelling out E=MC2 on the flight deck.

In their eyesCreate. That is the root of creation and creativity, which means to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve, or that is not made by ordinary processes, as is a work of art or an invention. Do Koreans have a problem with this word? I don't mean understanding it; I mean doing it. This is what I have often heard: Koreans are not especially creative. It's not only foreigners suggesting this; it's Koreans, too. I did of bit of sociological research to test the validity of this claim. I asked my university English literature students to name three notable Korean inventions, and I gave them a week to return with their answers. I thought it would be an easy and enjoyable homework assignment. As an American I pictured the airplane, a boxy black automobile, a spaceship, and the personal computer, as well as her omnipresent sidekick, the Internet. The following Friday I opened class eager to hear about some Korean inventions that were new to me. I started individually, student by student, but to my surprise, not a single invention was named. Finally a vibrant and brave Hong replied, ``He invented the … well, it was to gauge the depth of water, or maybe it was a sundial. I'm not sure. A kind of water clock, maybe." ``What?" I replied. ``I don't understand. Like a measuring cup?" ``No, no," Lim interjected, ``it determines ocean depth, I think." ``Like a very long stick?" I joked. My persistent questions to clarify this invention frustrated both parties. The upside was they were learning to reach into their memory banks to reveal the ``he" and the ``it." These students were learning English the hard way, in the best way ― by trial and error. They were learning to articulate; they were being forced to instruct me in a language not their own. It has always been my intention, my stratagem, to teach English in a problem solving manner. This way, students get consumed with an answer, not the tedium that second language acquisition can generate. Even though the class was at a loss for words, I could empathize. As my dad repeatedly said when teaching me to play golf, ``You look frustrated." ``I am." I confessed ``That's good," he declared. ``That means you're learning." However, let's be fair. So I asked these same students to name a famous and formidable Korean poet of the last fifty years … Still, no answers. Ultimately, all I wanted was creativity. Yet again, they needed prodding, so I threw some different bait into the water: ``Have any of you been to the War Memorial Museum outside Samgakji Station in Seoul?" No hands rose. I then asked, ``Have you had ever heard of Yi Sun-shin? All hands lifted with sighs, smiles, and sanguine eyes. They were visibly proud, and rightly so. ``How about that Turtle Ship to fend off those ruthless and pesky Japanese? Now ask yourself, is that design markedly creative ― the Turtle Ship?" ``Yes, teacher," all 25 agreed in unison. ``And how about the ship's five different cannons, including the dragon head that would spit fire and thoroughly horrify the enemy?" I could see they liked this image. Heads rose; eyes opened wide. I proclaimed, ``Yes, it was very ingenious, no doubt." Park then inquired, ``What does ingenious mean, teacher? ``It means creative as well as functional. It's ingenious." I was now getting their attention: one question was leading to another. Back to the inventor of the so-called water clock/rain gauge/sundial fame. As it turns out, I was able to ascertain (Hong later did some research) this inventor was Jang Yeong-sil, a prominent Korean scientist and astronomer during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Born a peasant in 1344, Jang became a favorite of King Sejong. Thanks to Hong, the class was treated to an explanation of this ingenious water apparatus: ``Circling the clock were 12 wooden figures that served as indicators of time. There were four water containers, two jars that received the water, and 12 arrows floating inside the lower container. As the water from the upper containers seeped down the pipe to the lower container, one arrow would tilt a board filled with small iron balls; a ball would roll down a pipe to a container of larger iron balls. The collision would cause the larger balls to travel down a lower pipe and hit a giant cymbal, announcing the time to the community." Imagine that. It's not easy. Something this innovative never is. ``Okay, now that I've got you seeing creatively, can anyone name another Korean invention? There's one so obvious, you may just pass it over." Again, silence from the class … I finally surrendered, ``How about something known as Hangeul? It's rated as one of the most efficient and learnable languages on earth. Not only is it extremely original; it's terribly practical. And what says more about a culture than its language? You should all be very proud." And they were. I could see it in their eyes.
