DROP shadow font inkscape LESSON

In update on my zing adventure last week HERE . 

I mentioned that i made the drop shadows in inkscape

 Here is the lesson oh what i found works good for me .

LETS BEGIN

 (click on pictures to see bigger)

Open inkscape type the word you want , then 

go PATH  object to path 

and then OBJECT ungroup.

and  PATH combine

this way it is easier to do this lesson 

Select that and do a control D and move the dulpicated one 

out the way .

I turned it into outline only just for the lesson so you can 

see it easier  and then you do control D

Now i use the arrow keys on my keyboard on the computer 

and i go one up and one right

then you do control D

the arrow keys on my keyboard on the

 computer and i go one up and one right 

then you do control D

the arrow keys on my keyboard on the

 computer and i go one up and one right

then you do control D

the arrow keys on my keyboard on the

 computer and i go one up and one right

You continue the

control D

the arrow keys on my keyboard on the

 computer and i go one up and one right

till you are happy with the depth you want the 

shadow to be

Once I have got it to the depth you select all those 

and then

PATH union

Here is the result

I then move the one i put aside on to check it

Here it is  coloured to see what it would look like when i cut

Into make the cut and cut on cutter (in my case the ZING)

HOPE this helps someone out there 

ENJOY
