Method 1 of 3:
Pattern along Path
This is using an extension included with Inkscape 0.45, in future version its name and location may be changed.
- Draw a bézier curve as a guide, modify its shape at will.
- Select the path stamp (it should be a single path, not a group) and the guide and use Effects > Generate from Path > Pattern along Path.
- For a nicer effect, the result is colored with a simple gradient.
Method 2 of 3:
Interpolation
This is using an extension included with Inkscape 0.45, in future version its name and location may be changed.
- Create two copies of your path, use different colors if you like.
- Select both of them and use Effects > Generate from Path > Interpolate.
- If the start and end paths have different colors, check the "Interpolate style" box.
Method 3 of 3:
Cloned Tiles
- Select the path and use Edit > Clone > Create Tiled Clones.
- Play with the parameters as you will. In this case, Scale, Rotation and Opacity were randomized.
- For a "messy" look, use the Unclump button (not illustrated here).
