Vorkosigan & Vectors

ehydeBecause of a bookbinding project, I read Vorkosigan saga fanfic for the first time (I liked the books but never sought out the fandom) and then roped myself into a partial series reread. I'm having fun but boy does Barrayar hit differently after experiencing both pregnancy and pregnancy loss.
Relatedly I have learned to warp text and I figured out probably not the most efficient way of outlining a block of text (rather than outlining individual letters), but a way of doing it, at least. I had to get the free trial of Affinity Designer 2 to do warped text, but I'm going to see if Inkscape can do it. I don't do enough vector drawing to need a program I have to pay for (and I don't see myself making that many Baen Books style title pages, either).
