Description
This time the image has all together 43 layer and while my PC has renderedthe image, Jackie aka ~Mignon has posted two of her wonderful homework
images. I had already thought that I've maybe worked to complicated and
have thereby produced unnecessary layer. This suspicion has been confirmed,
after I have looked Jackies images. Now I have to rework this image and I
hope I can save 5 or 6 layer.
All together I've probably worked more then 10 hours on it and I've needed
only for the shadow two hours. At first I'd to come up with something to generate
the shadow and then the adjustment of the gradiente has taken a lot of time.
And although I'm not happy with the shadow. I've still to learn a lot with the
gradient adjustment. To work with Screen-Relative coordinates on a rectangular
image with even borders comprised a lot of mathematical stuff, but I really
enjoyed those part of the work. The middle part contents one of my early
exercises, but I had always the feeling this image was not really ready and
so I've reworked it once again and, in addition, have added the texture for
the background.
Created with Ultra Fractal. No Postwork, all done with UF.
All comments and advices are very welcome und much appreciated.

hahaha...no, kein chinesich oder afrikanisch. mein dictionary sagt "to cootchie coo" ist
amerikanischer slang für süßholz raspeln und ich habe gestern schon einmal diesen begriff
benutzt. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen sonntag. bei uns heir hat der sonntag mit regen begonnen,
der himmel ist stark bedeckt und ich schätze, die sonne werden wir hier heute nich tzu gesicht
bekommen.

Ich rasple offencichtlich zu wenig süssholz und begegne auch keinen sonst wäre ich sicher auch schon über den begriff gestolpert
Heute ist prachts wetter. Bewölkt aber warm und licht windig. Super. Könnte so bleiben
Ich glaube ich mutiere langsam zum engländer mit meinem wetterkommentar
Ich wünsche dir einen schönen wochenstart!

hahaha...da bist du aber nicht allein süße...ich bin inzwischen ja genauso.
aber wetter ist halt nun mal ein wichtiges thema und niemand kann sich
vollkommen frei machen davon. im übrigen wurde ich aufgeklärt, cootchie coo
wir genauso wie bei uns als babysprache verwendet, das hat mit süßholz raspeln
agr nichts zu tun. vielleicht sollte ich die bei LEO mal aufklären....LEO ist mein
online dictionary, es eigentlich sehr gut.

Ja, LEO ist wirklich gut gell? Diese Seite habe ich auch ständig offen, gut finde ich auch die Suche im Forum.
Aber das ist erstaunlich, das es diesen Begriff scheinbar nur in einem sehr begrenzten Raum gibt, du kanntest ihn
nicht und auch bei LEO ist erfalsch erklärt.

bevor die seiten von leo umgearbitet wurden vor einigen wochen, standen unten am ende der liste die links zu
fallbeispielen, also ganze redewendungen und sowas, das muß man jetzt explizit im forum suchen, das finde ich
doof.

This is just stunning Denise! The orbit traps texture is exquisite and the borders and frame are so intricate and well done! You are already way ahead of me in class. I am still hammering away at my homeworks.

:LOL: Thank you so much for your lovely compliment Mary!
Oh dear, I really don't believe I'm ahead of you. Today I thought I'm a stupid thing, but it
seems it was not the case...
try to follow Janets Tips. This time is so much new stuff...I never have used before textures or
a pixel formula or a mapping etc. I guess it will take some weeks to explore all these things.

You are very welcome! It sounds like you are really enjoying Janet's class! I wish this class was around when I was first using UF and still full of enthusiasm. This is such a great way to learn the program! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, I really enjoy it so much. it's sooooo great...lol
I would like to know wether there is something news to you?
Or is all the stuff only a repeat or refresh of your knowledge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am learning some new things. For instance, I did not know that you could just pull down all the color points of a solid color mask and make it a "reverse" mask. I couldn't figure out how to reverse that type of mask if the ucl didn't have the option. I really like it when Janet explains how certain ucls work. I really love exploring the options. But I remember how exciting it was when I first started using UF and I miss that feeling. Plus, I am having sort of an artistic block right now.
I really want to try one of the challenges for this lesson, if I can find the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I know these blocks also, I think, often I've blocks if I've overstrained myself.
I could imagine if you slow down a little bit all the UF stuff at these time and after
you've finished the third class it will give you a kick forward and maybe also those
exciting feeling back again. lol

I think your doing wonderful. So much further along than the basic poo poo frames I can do lol. I saw your parameters to make your lovely framing and my head just swam! Jackies were pretty amazing too, but I am going to have to study how the two of you did yours over and over and over until I can do something like that myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you sweetie, I'm really glad you like it. You should not study the first version of this one here.
Look at Jackies images, these both are really great. I really think the true art is to achieve great effects
with few stuff or work or whatever you want call it. Fewer is often more, it's a german saying in verbatim
translating. I don't know if it is understandable in english. Maybe you have the same with other words?

Anytime darlin. One day I might need to ask you for help in German, seeing the only things I know how to say in your native tongue are (oh and note that I cant spell any better in German than I can in English rofl) Ich lieba diche, and Mehr Bier Bitte
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the other thing could be a dialect...
be very carefully with those words...it could be taken in the wrong way...

It could be my rotten spelling too rofl
I love languages though. I used to speak spanish fluently. Ive not used it so much over the past 10 years or so and I have lost a lot, but I can get by somewhat. I speak a little Swedish. A touch of Italian. I would love to REALLY delve into languages more and be multi-lingual but Ill prolly just always dabble here and dabble there lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My only other languages are english and russian, but with the russian is so sad, I've forgotten msot
of them, although I've learned it in school about 9 years. I'm very glad that I've improved my english
so much in the last few month. I've learned more in those month then in twenty years. It's a good thing
to use the english every day. But I really would like to hear how my english sounds in your ears. I always
think it must be broken english...
With an E too much at the end it's not a problem in german, I believe I don't know a word for what
it would be have a other meaning. The funny think could be, we would spoken the E at the end...lol
And these three little words "ICH LIEBE DICH" this is mostly used between two lovers. We german has
some subtle variationes of those words: "Ich hab dich lieb" meant actually the same but is used mostly
between friends or in family...it is a little bit less or fewer or other than "Ich liebe Dich". Then we have
"Ich hab dich gern"...this is "I like you" in english.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH lol who would have thought there were so many variations to be taken on "I Love You" which in English could be said to anyone you care super deeply for, could be spoken in a way ment to be intimate with a lover, or something you would say to your parents or your child, something you would say to a very dear friend. It is really neat how in different languages and cultures that there can be more degrees of subtlety.
My spanish is like your Russian, I took it all through highschool and college but I havent really spoken it much since. My vocabulary has shrunk tremendously, and I do not remember how to conjugate verbs in any tense other than present and past. I have forgotten a lot of the irregular verbs too. It could be worse, but ohhh it could be much better. I used to be sooo fluent. But that was a long time ago lol
Your English is fine. I wouldnt say that it is broken, because you use verbs, and use them properly. Its just little things with prepositons mostly. placement of them in your sentences. or on some verbs (our weird irregular ones) like have or has, you might interchange them.

sweetheart you can get all of my beer, my ice box is yours...lol
and since I say the whole world to know that I love men, can I say to you:
sweetheart I really love you in the same inappropriate way...lol
yeah the grammar is a difficult thing for me, like things such had have been..etc....brrrr...lol
but I've decided to sign up a course for english grammar in a school for adults. It would be stupid
not to use the chance to improve my english if I already speak, or better write, it every day.
And this will give me the chance to speak more than write. Read or hear and understand is another
thing than to speak a language. If i make terrible mistakes, it could be a great help for me if you
would correct me in those cases.
Oh oh... have you read Janets answer? It seems Denise is not a stupid thing but a clever thing...

hehe SEEE???? I TOLD YOU SO! hahaha
Your English is fine, a class will help refine you to make it better. Soon you will be to a point where people will not know that it isnt your first language.
My husband, by the way, had a good laugh over the "I love you" story hehe.

the weird thing is, I really have enjoyed the math part...lol...more then the other stuff...
have you looked at the both tic-tac-toe's? i like both and i guess we will make the mega mega
mega mega tic tac toe....hahaha...sorry dear, i had already a beer in the hope I can sleep...lol
lol...with the I LOVE YOU you should be very careful in germany, it could be you must married
the other one after a funny night...NO NO, it was a joke...but I guess if all had have enough beer
nobody would notice the different...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, if I have enough beer -- I love everyone anyway
I havent had a chance to see another tic tac toe, I saw Cliffs, but havent seen if anyone else has posted one yet. I am assuming that someone has! I am glad you liked the math part, it balances out how much I hated it hahaha 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
>>Geometric designs WITHOUT MATH!<<...I knew you would love it!!!
Yes I also think this lesson could give some fun and I need all my discipline to
finish the homework for the last lession...lol
and I'm really happy this lesson is a short lesson. if every lesson would be so long
or intensive as the last, I believe I would make my homework still in september or so...lol
I also love to make travels and I hope some day I can do it more again. I'm not quite sure
but I believe I've never crossed the europaen borders but I hope some day I'll cross the
ocean and visit your continent or australien and neighbors.

The Yellowstone Park is to me of course a household name
and I would love to visit it (is *it* right? in german is Park a he
and so I wanted to write *him*...lol) if I should be with you one day.

Yes, it is an it. In English we dont give a sex to something that isnt a male or female living creature. Spanish does that too, things are either feminine or masculine. But they put the differentiation in the 'the' that procedes the word, and tack on a masculine or feminine ending. Like La Primavera -- the A is the feminine on the end of the word, LA the feminine the. If springtime were a 'boy' they would say El for the and it would end in O. English doesnt do that though, so most things are just an it hehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is similar in German, with us the gender is determined always about the definite article: the man - der Mann, the woman - die Frau, the child - das Kind.
The child is an it, the sun is a she - die Sonne, the hat is a he - der Hut, but I don't know in many cases, why some is male or female or neuter,
not everything is logically understandable. As for example the park or the garden, both is male and not neuter.

It has always intreagued me how languages place gender on words. In English, everything is an it unless your a living breathing male or female with the right genetailia lol. I wond er if the decisions of inanimate objects being male or female dates back from centuries ago and just the feelings of the people in those times. English is one of the harder languages to learn, I have heard. But at least one thing is easy. Everything is just THE lol

>>I wond er if the decisions of inanimate objects being male or female dates back from

I can understand some things logical, but with animals, e.g., already no more:
the cat, the snake and the giraffe are "SHE", the dog, the bird, the bear, the butterfly,
the hare are "HE", the sheep, the pig, the hippo are "IT". WHY? ...LOL This is crazy, yes?
