Your intro is very catchy. I find myself wandering around the house doing house stuff and repeating "IronEcho design". Lol

I would have never thought this possible in Inkscape! Another awesome tutorial, Rick, thank you!

Thanks so much for showing us the power of Inkscape.

You keep showing us more, and the ideas swarm in my head as this would look cool done with the laser. Awesome Rick, thank you

Thank you so much for another great Inkscape tutorial. I tried that 3D box tutorial you did a while ag; I cut and pressed it on a sweatshirt, it turned out great!

Enthralling and inspirational at the same time. Thank you so much, Rick!

2:53 Tip: Copy (Ctrl+C) the 'Start' text and then Ctrl+Shift+V on 'Finish' text to paste the gradient and then you can adjust the direction. :)

Thanks! Here's a little something from me. It is not a lot, but it is all I can afford.

Great video this is a very cool effect. Also, wanted to know if there is a way to spray into a specific shape. I want to have a heart shaped object and only spray within the boundaries of the object?. Thanks

[pasticciottiontheroad]

Great tutorial as always, thank you so much. Do you know if there is a possibility to do some kind of inflate illusion with Inkacape?

What palette are you using for this one?

how do you preview text when selecting different fonts? I have to click on each font to see how it look on the canvas. In other software you just select your text and scroll the fonts it gives you a preview on the canvas. THis is easier for font selection.
