Description I'm not exactly thrilled with the way this turned out, but I'll make myself an exception since I'm still learning about Photoshop and photography. The coloring really didn't turn out that great, since the chains look bronzed because of the lighting (which I'll try to improve next time) while they're really a very shiny silver. But I'll accept this pic as a first try and keep looking for a better way to get the perfect shot. Hopefully I'll be able to post a better shot of this necklace soon.

How beautiful!
What kind of stone/crystal is in the center?

number1tolkienfan In reply to RedDragonfly [2008-06-03 21:57:08 +0000 UTC]

It's actually not really a 'crystal'... it's a plastic imitation of a mystic fire stone. The real thing tends to be much more expensive, and this plastic version also fit nicely into the center of the medallion.

Thank you!

wow I don't think I've ever seen a necklace like that! o_o
with the circular- how did you do that?!

number1tolkienfan In reply to Oukami-shoujo [2008-04-23 23:05:44 +0000 UTC]

Um...I didn't.

Seriously, I don't have circular frames like that to do the wire wrapping on. But the principle is actually very elementary.

Thanx for your compliment!

Oh my this looks wonderful!

My only critique on the actual picture is that it looks like the focus is on the chain rather than the medallion, which seems a little blurry to me.

The actual set up its self looks really professional, the black background is perfect

Yeah, you are so right. The picture (in my mind) doesn't look right at all and I'm thinking about doing a retake... But thanks for being so kind to my first deviation!

I like the way you made the medallion, all that wire wrapping that looks like a sunburst. A bit big for me to wear, but it'd also be great in a window catching sun. *grins at that thought in happiness*

Making this took me approximately twenty minutes. I don't really remember when we HAVEN'T had Photoshop...(Adobe Photoshop Album, that is.) Anyway, thanks for the open jaw and dilated eyes - it makes for a very flattering compliment.

Forging a sterling silver chain of that caliber is beyond my creative capacities. (to use a few dictionary words. lol)
