Speech bubbles


At last! I couldn't crack speech bubbles last summer but I'm there now. The mistake I was making was in not noticing the "add to selection" facility following the Make Work Path option.

It took me a while to realise how to add the pen-created lines to the elliptical shape...but I just kept on repeating the process, probably over ten times in quick succession, until I got it.

Cracking speech bubbles goes some way towards making up for not attending tonight's lesson, I was exhausted again...but I managed to find some energy to start work tonight and begin the momentum I now aim to continue until course completion.

POSTSCRIPT: In April I discovered that the above was unnecessary. The key to speech bubbles lies simply in finding the right section in Custom Shapes. Ah well, you live and learn!
