The width/length ratio looked good when I started this on a mac at
school, but here, on m roommate's PC, it looks a bit fat. Well,
it's a start... --
Someone was asking for violins? Here are two I hacked together.
This vertical violin was mostly motivated by the idea I had for doing
the f holes.

And this horizontal violin was motivated by the way the four strings
are drawn, which determines the size of the whole drawing. The f
holes here need work, and the shape is still not quite right.
(Despite having played violin for years, I don't have a terribly
accurate idea of what a violin looks like :)

Was it from mine? If so, I stole it from someone else myself. <G>
If not, I probably stole it from the same person you did...but I
forgot who it was.
I'd really like to discover whose it was originally.
