This is the base of what we are making.

This is all made in PSP7 without any outside filters.

 
I don't say it here, because I have a bad habit of not doing it .. but SAVE OFTEN in psp format:)

You need to download this ZIP file.  It contains the basering and the cameo used in this tutorial.  The base ring is completly hand drawn and in psp format.  The cameo is not hand drawn as I had a hard enough time just doing the base ring:)  Both are in psp format so bring them up in PSP and let them stay there until called for in the tutorial.  Once they are used then you can close or minimize them.

NOTE!!!! VERY IMPORTANT .. I had several complaints that the basering used for this tutorial had to many jagged points.  So I completetly re-made it, problem was I did not make it in yellow, so this tutorial will show in yellow but you will be working with the color that the base ring is that you downloaded.

 Click on the window for the basering, go to EDIT, COPY, now go back to your NEW IMAGE and go to EDIT, PASTE paste it as a NEW LAYER into your new image.  It will center itself into the center of the picture.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT do not move it after it has pasted in, if you do the settings that I give for the layers and pieces later on will not line up:(

 Now working in your new image only, go to EFFECTS, TEXTURE, SCULPTURE, choose the gold preset and set it to these settings.

Before you start the next section READ this.  I have had many
emails from people that do not understand the "Start Selection at"
Points that I give.  SO here is a little picture of where you will find
the numbers to watch.  If you run your mouse across you "window"
then you will see numbers moving in the lower left hand corner of
the PSP screen.  Your "Window" is like a grid.  where 1,1 is at the
top left hand corner and (IF your window is 300,300) then 300,300
would be your lower right hand corner.  So just like the stock market
watch those numbers:)

Now you have this but it is a little larger:)

Deselect

Make new layer.  With the pre shape set to Ellipse, line width 3, Antialias is CHECKED Foreground color is FFFFC0, backgournd is turned off, textures are off.  Start at 15,15 and take it to 30,35

Go effects, texture, sculpture and use the same settings as before (it should still be there, if not then reset it as above)

Use mover tool and take it to the basering, barely touch the ring with it and then move that layer down (layers, arrange, send to bottom)

Go to layers, merge, merge visible

Add new layer. Pre shapes, no checks, line width at 12 (ellipse) It should still be the color (light yellow) FFFFC0. Antialias is CHECKED

Start at 92,31 to 208, 193 .. whew! getting that right is just about the hardest part:)

Go to effects, texture, sculpture and use the same settings for your gold that you have before.  Hit OK.

This is what you have now:)

Go to Effects, Illumination, Sunburst and set like this.

Go layers, merge visible

With the magic wand, click on the inside of the pendent.

Selection, modify, expand 1.  Keep it selected and add a layer. Arrange that layer to the bottom.

Click on your Filler Can.  click foreground to make it white (FFFFFF) click ok ..
Click on the background color and set to EEEAEA.
Click on the Second texture buttons arrow, set to texture, then click on the texture and set it to footpath.

	If you click that little lock button then your settings will stay the way you have then instead of changing for darn near every tool:)  Drove me nuts, I would set what I wanted and then pick my fill can and they would be gone .. silly me:)
	If you what your background or fill to have a texture then you would click on the little arrow, see it, it is small and black, that will give you a choice of texture or no texture.
	One your first and Second button you have these choices, remember top is fore ground and second is background.  The choices are PAINT, GRADIENT, IMAGE, or NONE.  After making your choice then click on the larger button.  In this example I would click on the "GREEN" color and then it will open the LARGE color pallet and I can choose what color I want or enter the color I want.

NOW .. back to the tutorial:)

Now left click, then right click, inside the marching ants.
