Very cool program Patrick, glad that you found it. Sometimes it gets processor hungry, esp when using the blur feature. I really don't use Inkscape, haven't had time to sit down and learn all its features. Gimp works great for photos, but inkscape is great for vector drawings. Here are a couple of cards Jessica Sellers created in inkscape.

Glad you enjoyed it. Not all programs are easy to learn. I will let you know as new things come up. I downloaded the new GIMP yesterday. Sure! Heading out of town to see new grandbaby in a couple of days.

I just checked out Alice too.. Wow, amazing software! Thank you for the tip. I am always looking for new art related programs to try out and possibly introduce to my students. If you hear about any more, I would love to hear about it Heidi! Let’s link up too when you get the chance, ok?

Thanks Karlyn,

I haven’t heard about artweaver, I’ll have to check it out. My 11 year old is checking out a 3-D program called Alice freely available from Carnegie. So many resources available.

Thansk!

Great post. Opensource fan here too. I teach a computer design workshop to 5th-8th graders. We currently use artweaver which is pretty cool (and free) too. Always open to trying new software though. Thanks for the info.
