Deselect. Now
if you want to add something inside your bowl...add another layer
and add your water
or flowers. Here's how I added water.
I added a new layer
and clicked on the Selection tool/Ellipse and then flood
filled with the blue.
But you could add flowers or anything else you want.
Don't forget to add
drop shadows. If you want to add a candle and flame
add a layer under
the body layer, but on top of the gray layer.
Just play around and have some fun with it.
Now it is ready to
save as a tube....delete the black layer and merge visable.
I saved a copy in
psp format with all the layers preserved so I could change the
colors. I also
animated the simmerpot. You need your layers for adding the candle,
flame...and steam.
Hope you had fun with
this one. If you have nay questions, feel free to
email me.
