I
suppose I can blame this one on carry-over from last week.
When I looked at the women with their hands in the air,
I had this association to Holy Rollers and decided to
make the bee an object of veneration. I used smart blur
to change a bee car into a line drawing, then applied
an emboss layer style to create the glass leading. The
rest of the stained glass window started as a gradient
-- I applied the crystallize filter and then stroked the
cells on a separate layer and added an emboss style to
the strokes. I selected the women, then added an offset
layer of shading to give the impression of their being
lit from the other side.
