103/365 Steer Clear of the Guatemalan Insanity Peppers

For We're Here - The Psychedelic Experience

 

OMG this one is creeping me out. Here’s how I did it:

- took a pic of a jeweled beaded flower on a purse

- bumped up levels and saturation

- used liquefy filter to swirl each jewel, leaving centre jewel intact

- duplicated layer

- flipped top layer horizontally

- reduced opacity to 50 per cent

- blended (can’t remember which blend. “Overlay,” I think)

- totally freaked out at the faces that the blend revealed

- tried the same technique with a nice photo of tulips

- copied the result and laid it over the scary goat image, intending to delete the goaty layers

- decided to blend the tulip layer to the goat layer and post it that way (only slightly less disturbing than it was in the first place)
