Start with a blank image, 200x200, and fill with a background color of your choice (this will let you see the lace more easily). Add a new layer and put in a lace image (I used my LaceScallop2 tube). |
| Go to Image>Plugin Filters>Redfield>Jama3D.
The settings I used are in this screen shot.
By varying the settings you can get different effects. To make your ruffles narrower or wider, adjust the orange button at the top left of the screen. |

Here's the result after I applied an Unsharp Mask (Image>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask). |
 |
If you want the lace "gathered", go to Image>Deformations>Perspective
- Vertical.
I used a setting of -50. Experiment with different settings to get the effect you wish. Then apply an Unsharp Mask if necessary. |

To get a "repeating" section, use the rectangular selection tool and select an area as shown. Copy and paste into a new image. |
| For a "mitered" corner, I copied and pasted
3 sections from the above image. Using the Freehand Selection tool
set on "Point to Point", I drew a line at a 45-degree angle. To check
your angle, look at the status bar at the bottom of the window:
|
 |
| Delete the selected area, and either increase
your canvas size or open a new larger canvas.
Copy and paste the angled section. While it's still floating, rotate the second section 90-degrees and flip or mirror to get the right orientation. Then match it to the first section. |
 |
| Here's the corner from above, copied and
pasted to make a square. Flip or mirror your pasted selection to
fit where you want.
By using different miter angles, you can create different shapes. If you're not sure about how you want to put them together, paste them into different layers and "merge visible" layers when you're satisfied with the layout |

| Here's an example of a finished piece using ruffled lace. |
 |
| And here's a window scene I made with ruffled curtains. I used a tighter perspective deformation and "sculpted" the sides with the eraser tool. |
