Celtic knot style double heart

I was playing around with a few hearts and the knot feature in Inkscape and ended up with this design. As Valentine's day is the next occasion, I thought somebody may find a use for the file. It is easy to cut out as there are only two pieces.

Scalloped Circles Using Tiled Clones with Rotate.

I have uploaded a few new videos to You Tube featuring tiled clones with rotate. This particular video and pictorial show how to create scalloped circles for your projects. I like this method as the circles do not get distorted.
The following steps are a guideline and may be easier to follow if you watch the video first.


The same two circles can be used to create many different scalloped circles just by changing the location of the smaller circle and the number of columns used. Example shown below.

Remember, if you do change the location of the small circles to relocate the rotational centre. To have the small circles follow the perimeter of the larger circle the centres must be in the same location.

Nested Shapes Using Tiled Clones.

Two videos showing how you can use tiled clones in Inkscape to create your own nested shapes. Tiled clones are great for nested shapes as the new shapes are not distorted.

The first video is great if you like to design using stroke. If you prefer your nested shapes in full colour you may find the second video is more suitable.
