Matt!Actually, I did not mean to set a world record in fast drawing. Let me put it otherwise: will you be able to find an easy solution for making similar images? Promise to unveil the trick in a week's time.I also forgot to mention the image was done from scratch. No photo or something was involved.
Rich, I don't think you used cloning. Guess it is just another photo that looks like an ornament. I don't think cloning is appropriate for your great cameraworks.
