The gingerbread dragon design, plus

Wed, 22 Dec 2021

Itā€™s been a little bit hectic around here (as everywhere, Iā€™m sure) and somehow I forgot I hadnā€™t posted the gingerbread dragonā€™s design. Iā€™ve been trying to make an effort to put those into permanent Pages rather than just blog entries, which means they donā€™t show up on the calendar the same way. Usually I notice when I try to link to them and it fails, but this time I blogged about them before posting the design and then justā€¦ didnā€™t.

At any rate, itā€™s out there now. Itā€™s a 4Ɨ4 design, and Iā€™ve included a ā€œMerry Christmasā€ that you can skip if youā€™re personalizing it.

I used Ink/Stitchā€™s built-in TT Masters for names because itā€™s bold and easy-to-read. At the moment because itā€™s one of the original Lettering alphabets it doesnā€™t correctly resize within the Lettering window, but it scales fine after the letters are created. Also the tail of the Q is missing a rung, which will need to be added before itā€™ll create the stitch file. Somehow Iā€™ve volunteered to fix this for the next Ink/Stitch release.

I also learned something about Ko-Fi, and that is that goals donā€™t care whether the money is in the form of tips or shop purchases. Well, two things: I also learned that I donā€™t get emailed Ko-Fi notifications when the goal is met. The upshot is, purchases of physical gingerbread dragons in my Ko-Fi shop managed to unlock the Dragon in Flight design ā€“ the one thatā€™s appeared on a lot of my tiny key fobs, free and otherwise. I announced it in my (annoyingly RSS-free) Ko-Fi feed, but hereā€™s its permanent home:
