Curious how it went from this to that? Here's what I did in Photoshop CS3:

 

#1 Adjust Levels to brighten the image. For this photo, I dragged the righthand slider (highlights) to the left.

 

#2 Duplicate the background into a new Layer 1.

 

#3 Apply Black & White to Layer 1. Drag the Blues and Cyans sliders into the negative percents. Drag the Yellows and Reds sliders over 100%. Note that the colors you should change vary with the photograph.

 

#4 For the Blending Options of Layer 1, select Luminosity. If you stop here, you get the photo in the middle.

 

#5 If you want the next photo, find a texture you would like to use. I used a photo of tarnished golden metal.

 

#6 Create a new Layer 2 for this texture and make it the topmost layer of your photo.

 

#7 Set the Blending Options of Layer 2 to Linear Dodge (Add) at 50% opacity, or eyeball whatever looks good.

 

#8 If you want the black edges, under the Blending Options of Layer 2, add an Inner Shadow. I set Choke at 50% and Size at 190 px.

 

#9 Have fun Photoshopping. :)

Not much different from the previous, just showing that after letting the pink dry, we went ahead and taped right over it - these would be the pink stripes of the plaid.

 

We did this because we only have to tape once instead of taping twice on each side of the pink (if we had painted the pink on top of the green).

 

I used the same tape-offset technique to figure where to put these tape lines (along with the ones for the purple stripes later) and simply used the diamonds as my reference point now that the chalk lines were gone.

Mask the body cap so only the aluminum disk is showing.

 

Alternatively you could use the sharpie marker to paint the whole disk and masking in that case would not be required. However painting with a flat paint works better.

Here is the finished lens. From here if the hole is too small (a lot of refraction - take a photo of something bright white in full sun and look at the edges) you can carefully use the needle on both sides of the lens to round out the hole larger. Do this in small incremental steps so you don't oversize the hole. Once the hole is too large there is no way to make it smaller. However making a new aluminum disk is easy. Just replace the disk with a new one following steps 4-14.

Happy and dancing!!! Stepbystep Wire Jewelry mag Dec/Jan2011 is out and my tutorial is inside!!!! YAY... what a wonderful day..

Can't believe that those spectacular earrings are MINE ;-)

Here is the taping done for the final stripes. Because these stripes were going over the existing orange diamonds, we had to tape both sides of the stripe. I used, again, the tape-offset technique to get a reference center stripe and then used smaller pieces of the tape to measure off the outside tape-lines.

 

The crosses were particularly fun to do - which is in the next photo.

Slowly drill (or hand twist the bit) a hole in the center punch dimple. Clean up the edges so they look smooth and there is no jagged edges around the hole.

Mark a dimple in the center of the body cap with the center punch tool. A nail or similar tool will work also.

Carefully tape the aluminum disk to the body cap ensuring the pinhole is still centered in the 1/4" drilled hole. Allow adhesive to completely dry.

After the silicone adhesive dries carefully remove the tape.

Here you can see that we have pained the purple stripes as well. Unlike the pink, the purple stripes were not going straight down the center of the green but off-set to the side a bit. Also, you can see where I have feathered the green over the diamonds, feathering like this makes for better tape lines and less bleed. It's even better if you can feather in the colour you are painting over (so feathering in orange, in this case) but the orange was from the previous painting of the room and so we didn't have it available (and I didn't really think about that idea until after this project was basically completed).

After coloring around the pinhole with the sharpie marker it's time to remove all the masking tape. Your pen painting should be darker than mine as the marker I used was not very dark.

Slide the aluminum disk around until the pinhole is centered in the 1/4" drill hole.
