Im wondering is your talking about body physics layers perhaps.

I made this type of bow quite quickly using a a box for the loops and a plane for the tails.  Starting with one cube I deleted two opposite sides of the cube to make a  "loop" of four faces and enlongated it by stretching.  I added some edge loops to the stretched area and then  subdivided "smooth"  the whole thing to make it a bit to smooth it and make it more "loop like", then I used proportional editing on the center edgeloops of the loop  to scale it together in the middle.  I duplicated this piece and rotated it 45 degrees.  I added the plane slightly behind the loops  and again subdivided and  used scaling with proportional editing to pinch everything in toward the center, however I also pulled out middle section  of the tail to bring it forward to make the "knot".

Because I wanted this to be viewable from most angles I added the modifyer "solidify"

Don't forget you can also use sculpting tools to make your bow more natural and organic...use the grab and inflate and pinch brushes.  A little fussing goes a long way.

Im so sorry Nacy, I have been building for some time now and these instructions are not easy to follow. And if they arent easy for me i suspect they wont be easy at all for a beginner or novice. Can you redo them given the parameters in the build window such as :

rez a _____

resize to __ __ __

and rotate __ __ __

now pathcute __ and __ ect.. 

this would make following your instructions on this beautiful bow alot easier for the rest of us.

Thank you kindly... Fatal
