Antique Delft Seamless Tile Guest Tutorial ©Frances Proctor
©2009 Frances Proctor

Hello everyone. We are going to make an antique delft tile that can be seamlessly tiled.  Before we start I want to acknowledge that the idea for this tutorial came from a thread on Talkgraphics started by Bob (iamtheblues), about creating seamless tiles from dingbat fonts.

For this tutorial we will use Kalm’s Colours, which is a wonderful pallet of colours from Keith (ss-kalm) available on the Xara Xone Shareware page. Throughout the tutorial I have included colour swatches for those of who do not want to download the pallet. We will also be using two dingbat fonts that are available for free, Border Corners 2 which can be found on dafont.com and Dutchmen which can be found on simplythebest.net/fonts. I have also saved the two fonts to a XAR file which you can get here. Ready? Click the blue arrow and let’s get started.
