Thanks very much Susan. It was one of these ideas that once they get into your head you don’t rest until you’ve done it… :-)

RiSH :
Excellent idea …now tell me what pen are you holding in your hand ?
monocotylidono replied
Thanks :-) It’s just a giveaway from a conference… by twisting it it becomes a pen, pencil or stylus – very handy for touchscreens.

Victoria Kidgell
Fantastically creative shot! I am torn between wanting to know how you did it, and not wanting to spoil the magic of the effect you have created!

I had noticed this image of yours before, and found it impressive. It’s kind of you to share ‘how’ in detail. As someone who’s on a digital image manipulation course just now, I appreciate it!
monocotylidono replied
Many thanks Graham. I am also in the process of experimenting with digital compositions, so it’s fun to share what I discover! Glad you like it :-)
Johanne Brunet
Wooohooo!!! Huge congrats on your win in the challenge The Digital Playground George! :-)
monocotylidono replied
WOW!!! Thanks Johanne, I had not spotted that yet, nor was I expecting it! You know how much I admire the master skills on PP that you (and very few other of my friends) have, so I am humbled… :-)

Nice one, George :-) I saw it a while back and read your tutorial, too … but most of all I was fascinated by the pen, funny enough. Couldn’t get that white tip figured, and I thought I know about pens! Luckily that question has now been answered since I’ve last looked at the image, lol
monocotylidono replied 29 days ago
It’s just a gadget Barb, nothing more. That particular “pen” has three tips – pen. mechanical pencil and a plastic stylus for touch screens, Nintendo DS, Palm, etc. – As I am pointing to the screen, I decided that a touch stylus was more believable than a pen ;-) Thanks
