I'm sharing some of the projects I'm working on taken from the Inkscape 0.48 Illustrator's Cookbook, a book of 109 recipes for creating different effects in Inkscape.
Details for the techniques will be in my blog links
The first technique (page 192) is Hatching over a photo or image.
And thanks, JoAnne...love having our chinchilla in my pic though she and I are starting to look more and more alike but her nose wiggle is still way cuter than mine!
And I am still shockiing people in our town with my short hairdo..gives them something to talk about!

I've downloaded the "sample" file and been playing all day with it. Most of it seems to work for me but there are a few steps missing at the end of the recipe that I think are needed for cutters. Did you experience any of this?
I'm still debating about buying the book but MAYBE as I always learn new techniques when I do a tut.
Are you referring to the hatching technique or something else? I haven't done anything that I've tried to cut. I work with some of these techniques for print projects primarily and I'm still using scal1. I posted in Suzan's forum about reviewing the book and HeatherM mentioned she said that others have had problems with her files produce in 0.48 so she is doing most of her work in 0.47. The ones I've created I haven't noticed a problem with but my drawings are pretty simple. I included a link at Papyrus Jungle for those of you who might want to contact the company and consider writing a review (they requested my blog and amazon) so then they would send you a copy of the book to do that.
Okay...one more and then I'm trying to move on...no editing done and I would work more on each of those if I were going to use them on a project.
The lightest one really needs more lines but I do like some of the potential with this tool.
