    Default Keyhole

    I was going through some tutorials that were utilizing the clip view feature, and I thought it would be interesting to use some of the techniques on a keyhole. This is what I came up with.

    I've just noticed the birthmark!
    Surely, that should help with the identification?!!!

    Hi Rik, the tutorial I was working with was the video water drop tutorial. They were using the clip view tool to create an inner shadow on the base of the water drop. I thought it would be an interesting effect to shade the inner part of a keyhole. Gary, I really like the effect that you created, the silhouette reflection is very clever. Nicely done.

    As for the model: The picture was taken approximately 30 years ago and the birthmark is actually a tattoo of a chili pepper. (In which she was quite famous for.) She was one of my favorite pinups when I was growing up. Those are all the clues that you get Rik, happy hunting.

    I am still working on a brass background for the keyhole. I actually incorporated the keyhole into a project that I did for my anniversary last year. This heart actually evolved out of Rik shiny button thread which got a great response. Great job Rik.

    Personally, I think creating the keyhole was the easy part. Trying to figure out what goes on the other side, take some creative thinking and imagination. I particularly like this one the best.
