Love in Morse Code...

"Love," spelled out vertically in true Morse 
Code, flanking hearts that spell out love it
more liberally...

Hello there.

I hope you're having an excellent week. I know, I know, I say (and mean) a variation of this every week. But this week, I especially mean it. Cos round these parts it's been one of those weeks where I feel knee-deep in everything, but finished in virtually nothing. Can you relate?

So, I thought it would be fun, and very much in the spirit of the current Valentineish  season, to show you something interesting that I've learned in pursuit of one of those unfinished projects., ie...

How to spell out "Love" in Morse code.

I was really attempting to make a repeating pattern using this idea (and will post it here if I ever, actually manage to make it in full).

For now though, am left with the motif you see in the picture. (Which I'm thinking might work for something like tape, or ribbon).

But...

In the meantime, the Computer Man and I are left having different views on this. He says it can only be Morse code at all if the dots and dashes pattern you see at either side. 

On the other hand, my feeling is that once it's bright pink, made visual, and aiming to be part of a pattern, that ship has rather sailed...And so substituting filled hearts for dots and outlined ones for dashes (especially seeing as they are hearts, and the word being spelled out is "Love,")... feels like something well within artistic licence, to me.

I'll leave you with this conundrum, and wishes for a wonderful week, no matter what.

More soon.

Free Valentine ECard-And a Canva Review

Hello!

Really hope that this post finds you well, happy, and thriving in the best way you can.

This week, I felt like ringing the changes, so thought you might like a quick ecard video as a change. If you like it, please feel free to use and share it as much as you wish.

It uses my own images (which you can buy in my Craftsuprint shop, if you prefer) and music ("Blue Dream") by Cheel, licensed for free via YouTube.

And yes, I know Valentine's Day isn't until next month. But it's another of those cases where uploading this now, it gets to be "in the system," as it were, in time for Valentine's Day itself.

Trying out a new ecard creator

I created it using Canva.com's free ecard creator (and no, that's not an affiliate link or a promotion in any way). Then, I uploaded the video to YouTube, as normal.

As a first time user, I loved how easy it was to use the Canva ecard creator. Having said that, I'd already created my own images for the card, and just had to upload them. Plus, the card/video editing process at Canva is far from sophisticated, and leaves the end result a bit "jerky".

 On the other hand, it may be something (like most apps and software) that reveals its more detailed tricks and features the more that a person actually uses it.

All in all...

All in all, I'd probably use it again, but maybe only for simpler projects and/or if a quick result was crucial.

Hope this helps in some way, anyway,  and have a lovely weekend.

More soon.
