That is the question! Messing with patterns and looking at some other patterns in the pattern store. Concluded my leaf type patterns are real close to what I see as 3D. Has been fun, learn by doing rather then reading. I get more satisfaction when I figure it out on my own.
Re-worked the pump again and was able to add more detail still giving a more 3D effect. A self portrait and not bad?
If anything they are better then the first set I have shared......Oh man all those patterns to re-work!!!
Hope I don't forget all I figure out tonight, tomorrow!

PS Just for giggles I tried some letters, Ike tell me what you think?
