Description I have totally lost track of how long it took me to figure out how to make ferns in Apo. This one was the ultimate test of my patience and, although it's not perfect, I simply cannot fiddle with it anymore. It's making me nutz!

Apo 2.04 and 2.05b.

Thanks for looking.

The stem has always been the hard part for me. This is also very nice.

Thanks! The stem drove me nuts for a long time. I thought of changing the title to "Crap! Damnit!" at one time.

Well just to make you feel a little better. I have been working on these for about 4 years.

Well it's no wonder you've mastered them! 4 years.

Impressive. I've never even been able to figure out how to do this style in the first place.

It took almost 2 months for me to figure it out. I almost gave up at one point but the stubborn streak got the best of me. Thanks for the kudos.

LOL, like how I was with Julians. Funny thing is, I don't really like Julians. They all kind of look similar.

Fractoid In reply to ClaireJones [2006-11-20 01:04:28 +0000 UTC]

They really do look similar, don't they? I still enjoy a beautiful Julian but that's probably because I had so much fun with your tut. See what you started?

A lovely piece to be sure. Simplistic but complex, and not to mention, I just love the shades of green! Beautifully done!

You can't 'fiddle' with it anymore?
I love the look of Fiddlehead ferns.

It's wonderful fern and if it's not perfect, no one but you would ever know. To me, it looks great!
