The area at the bottom was once a string of pearls in an old photo of a Hollywood starlet. Then I saw the mushrooms "grow" from the many filters I layered on (along with the bouquet) and used a dry brush and pencil to "carve them out." :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3540 X 2625 pixels. See one original source here .

Mostly "Stylize: Glowing Edges," run at about 80% opacity in Difference mode over an unaltered layer. The inside of the dish is a 50% layer of "Artistic: Paint Daubs" in Color Dodge mode over a layer of "Texture: Stained Glass." Other touch-ups and corrections.

Collage on board. Previously unposted.
