What pretty drawings could they make that didn't require many steps? I’d love to see some tutorials for young children (ages 5 to 8) to get into using Inkscape.

I've just recently downloaded Inkweaver, so I'm totally new to this. It's a very concise and easy to follow procedure, but I have problems with Step #5 (embarrasing, I know.) What keys do I have to press to send the object (the small star) to the back? Thanks again! Thanks for the tutorial! I’ve just recently downloaded Inkweaver, so I’m totally new to this.

I dnt even remember what I did. This is definitely not for beginners because it will just discourage them. But you should give us the instructions on how to create the end version with the dots and letters. Ya at the 12th stage it took me forever to get past that. I dnt even remember what I did.

The clone pattern tool isn't very easy to use. I couldn't solve how to put that rectangle around the circle.

This was a first time I had Inkscape open, and still I was able to achieve result similair to yours. I had only some small problems with steps 10-11-12 and 17 ( maybe you could explain how do those tools work in more detail ) but I was able to work it out after some time. Thanks for tutorial.

This chops a hole in the star, and (if you've made the hole big enough) makes point editing much easier. I use this all the time, as Inkscape does not yet have a knife tool to cut paths into precise pieces...still have to add a point, then split the path at the point. Incidentally, I LOVE Inkscape...it is my favorite open source program of all -- and I am by no means an artist.

There is no visual clues as to what node I am selecting. It is as if I am working by chance to select the nodes I want to edit! Very high frustration for me!
