I got a catalogue from Pier One and that had a pitcher and glass stirrer set for $15.00 USD. My friend Bev and I were battery hunting and went to a shopping mall to a Best Buy. No Batteries for her phone nor for my Nikon. But next door was a Pier One. So I went in, saw some glass ware on sale and chose some items but did not see the Stirrer/Pitcher set. So I asked. They found them and I got one and it was on sale at 50% off....should have gotten two, but I don't know what I would do with the pitchers...oh yeah vases...for those things I always seem to be shooting.
Anyhow, I made a back ground fill in PS ELements 3.0 of 12 different hues of green and repeated it. Then I made a design using the shear filter. In shooting, I found there was some gold that was not working for me and the green blue I chose was too blue. So I used color replace to make them green.
I displayed final version of the background fill on my computer monitor and placed the stirrer in, of all things, vase. The angle work and shot head on. I though the refraction works well against the design to give sort of an illusion of the colors being stirred.
