That&#8217;s why I want to give you something to thank you for visiting my site. At least some of you have wondered how I make my kaleidoscopes. Therefore, I will reveal it to you one way. First, there must be a drawing, the raw print I always make manually. After that, edit the drawing in <a title=\"Download free GIMP\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gimp.org\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gimp<\/a>, a free image editing program. Still, it is possible to create good kaleidoscopes even from a picture drawn with a pen. <\/p>\n<p>Below is a drawing of the starting point this time. I have added different layers to the bottom part in Gimp.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yellingrosa.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-07-Urheilumylly-02a-E11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"643\" title=\"2023-03-07 Urheilumylly 02a E11\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"2023-03-07 Urheilumylly 02a E11\" src=\"https:\/\/yellingrosa.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023-03-07-Urheilumylly-02a-E11_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then I started running ornaments from the drawing using <a title=\"Download the free add-on to your computer\" href=\"https:\/\/gmic.eu\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free G&#8217;Mic add-on<\/a> available for Gimp. Then I started running ornaments from the drawing using the G&#8217;Mic add-on available for Gimp.
