Re: Desperately seeking simple cornstalk

Re: Desperately seeking simple cornstalk

Thank you so much for your offer. I'll have to scan it into my computer b/c I drew it freehand -- why do my fingers work on paper & NOT on the screen (I get crazy, uncontrollable images). Would that still work? What file types can be imported into Inkscape? (Usually when I scan something for wor...

I'm looking for a simple cornstalk svg or font for my nephew's Christmas present-- I have a shape I drew I'd like to use, but I haven't mastered Inkscape for tracing yet. . .
