|20 |File>New. 7 inches X 7 inches. We will not name this. Fill the background with any color. We are just using it to draw an object |

| |that we will paste into the Gelatinous Text document. |

|21 |Select the Pen tool. |[pic] |

|22 |With this tool, you do not click and drag. You click where you want the shape to change directions. After the second click, the two |

| |points will connect. We will click at 4 different points. Use the examples below as a guide. |

| | |

| |[pic] |

|23 |Choose Add Anchor Point Tool. |[pic] |

| |Click and release. You will see a dot and a few squares similar to the second | |

| |picture. | |

| |triangle to look more like a tear drop. | |

| | |

| |Edit>Paste. A new layer is added. Name it drip. |

|27 |Click the Move tool (first tool). The free transform box will appear around your shape. |

|28 |Move the drip so that it is coming off the bottom of the r in Jr. Resize the |[pic] |

| |drip making it very thin. You must resize it now. Resizing it later will be | |

| |almost impossible. Once it is resized you may also have to move it again to | |

| |be sure it is touching a letter. | |

| | | |

| |Commit your transformation. | |

|29 |Right-click on the Text layer (Batesville Jr. High) and choose Copy Layer Style. |

|30 |Right-click on the drip layer and choose paste layer style. The drip should now show the same gradient as the text. |

|31 |Add more drips by copying the drip layer. Layer>New>Layer via copy. The new drip will be stacked on top of the first drip. Use the |

| |move tool to drag it to its new location. Continue with this same process to add more drips. You might want to resize some of the |

| |drips so they are not all exactly the same size. |

|32 |Merge all of the drip layers into one. The finished product will look similar to the one below. |
