Red Hat Magazine - The Open Palette
The Open Palette
Red Hat Magazine started a series of of tutorials on how to create art with Free and Open Source creative tools. The first in the series, authored by me with help from Mairin is titled How to use Inkscape’s new blur filter and is a celebration (albeit a little late) of the 0.45 release of Inkscape.

I used my own research on orbs, a little inspiration from Ryan's tip about 3D text combined with other minor elements (trace, inset/outset. boolean operations) and excessive use of blur.
The same technique can be extended, even to create something like this:

The column in Red Hat Magazine will continue (probably monthly) with other interesting subjects (we already have a list of ideas), but the tutorials posted on my own site and blog are put on-hold for the time being, due to the lack of reaction to my previous call for help.
All the materials included on this page are free to use, but if you find them useful, pretty please (this is not a requirement, only my humble wish) send an email to dioanad at server gmail.com with thanks for motivating me to publish some content and expressing your unhappiness to the same person for destroying my motivation to publish even more.

Good job. I think this tutorial should be also published on artwork wiki section of fedoraproject.org.
Nice job, you can't teach creativity, but it always helps to know the techniques.
Luya, unfortunately the license from RHM is not compatible with the Fedora Wiki and I can publish it in another place only after some months.
But we can link to it.
