Excellent work Bob.  You really did the picture justice.  I like the frame as well it goes well with the overall theme of the project. Thanks for sharing it with us.

May I ask what program you used to make the portrait? I want to do these as well but when I use some of the online programs avail-I just never get a realistic picture from it...

Thanks, and well done by the way!!

Hi Ed,

I use Gimp for the portrait pattern then Inkscape to add the letters and numbers. It just takes practice and a lot of time. These videos helped me out immensely....

It's a lot of info, but to me it was worth the effort.

Good luck with your pattern making.

Bob
