		<title>I&#8217;m still alive in 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is definitely not a new year&#8217;s resolution to start posting again. New year&#8217;s resolutions are stupid. This post was inspired by an email from my domain registrar telling me the domain was about to go extinct. I thought I should try posting again because I feel like I actually do stuff when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Japan Inspired Wedding Invitation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I ordered a few bits from the internet to start on my wedding invitations and thought I&#8217;d post up how I&#8217;ve made them.
For this you&#8217;ll need:

White pre-scored greeting card &#8211; I&#8217;m using 135mm square white card for this
Washi Paper, available from good paper suppliers and origami shops
Coloured card to match washi paper
Mizuhiki in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something I&#8217;ve been working on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a couple of hours working on a graphic of a dandelion the other weekend and I thought I would share how it was done.

The design is simple. Using Inkscape, I began by drawing the dandelion stalk using the Freehand Tool (using spiro for that nice curve) and coloured it with a slight gradient [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inkscape: Exploring Spiro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now you have your development version of Inkscape running, let&#8217;s have a look at the Spiro option. Select the Freehand (Pencil) Tool. You&#8217;ll notice an addition to the toolbar: 
Make sure the &#8220;Create Spiro Path&#8221; mode is selected as shown. This will correct your freehand lines to smooth curves which you can adjust using the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inkscape: Previewing Spiro &#8211; Getting Started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first read about the new spiro feature on Andy Fitzsimon&#8217;s blog I thought it was so cool I had to have a go.
Spiro is a new feature in development for Inkscape which is an add-on to the Freehand Tool. It modifies your stroke path into spirals giving a very fluid look to curves [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on That Dandelion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my last post I had a hard drive failure and lost all my work since July, including the two drawings I posted recently. So, I decided to redraw the dandelion image.
Last time I used tile clones but looking back on it the positioning of the fluff was far too geometric, so I got rid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dandelion Doodle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another possible table number doodle and an experiment in tile cloning. I can&#8217;t figure out whether I like it with or without the leaves better. I think for the real thing I&#8217;d have to tidy the leaves up a bit. Maybe it looks too plain without them?

		<title>Table Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Wow, two posts in a row. I&#8217;ve surpassed myself.
Today I&#8217;ve been messing around with Inkscape. I made these spirograph flower designs and thought I could use it for table numbers for the reception. I&#8217;m not set on this but I thought I&#8217;d post it up anyway.
I&#8217;m trying to avoid the traditional look without looking too [...]]]></description>
