step 7 of 11

Liquified design is scaled into narrow, vertical strip, then duplicated and flipped horizontally. These two strips are merged, then this section is duplicated and flipped until canvas is filled. A gradient layer will go over this design. I will try several different colors before I am finished by tring to find a complementary background.

Here some background fill pieces are formed with fork duplications and lliquify warped into interesting, rather flowing pieces. These are placed in container first, then flowers are being added Various flowers are changed with hue/saturation tool to vary the colors in the arrangement.
