I used the Replace color to change the color of the leaf a bit to more match a feather color. I then Clipped a peacock from a picture I took at Silver Springs and put it over the leaf, then clipped an eye off the tail feathers and duplicated it and resized and rotated it randomly. Grouped the eyes together and made a vector mask and added a gausean blur to them to help blend them. I then duplicated the body of the peacock painted it black and distorted it to appear as a shadow then masked it and added a gausean blur to blend it. (5 years and 3672 days ago)

I used the pen tool to cut out the top of the mosaic picture to create the grassy leaves. I then duplicated the layers and transformed them to make some smaller and some larger to give a fuller effect. I then played with the hue/saturation and the colour balance to make them green and to make each of the layers a slighlty different shade of green. I then used beve, and emboss to give them some depth and some inner shadow. in order to create the top of the vase i used one of these layers and removed the top leaves, just leaving the bottom portion and desaturated it to make it black and whit

To make the main vase body (peacock body) I used the pen tool to cut out the central part of the mosaic. I originally made this blue, then used the paint bucket tool to fill some of the small circles with blue. I then decided i prefered to have it in black and white and desaturated it to match the top of the vase. I then used the paint bucket tool to fill some of the areas on the face with white and make it stand out. I then used the eraser to make the beak area slim and less rounded, more beak like.

For the dark leaves behind the lillies i used the pen tool to cut out the wing like parts on the mosaic (central, left and right on the original) I cut one out then flipped it to make the left and right leaves. I then duplicated it and cut it in half, duplicated then merged the 2 layers to make an even lookig leaf for the center. I then used hue/saturation and colour balance to make them green.

author says:

For the lillies i enlarged one of the green leaves, warped them to give them a wrap around effect. I then drew in the yellow bits using the brush tool. I created the stems using the brush tool, then lowered the opacity to merge the lilly and the stem. I used bevel and emboss and outer shadow if i remember correctly. After making two lillies i duplicated them flipped them and added them to the 2 other areas. I duplicated a single lilly to add an extra one to the central bunch. Lastly i added a simple central gradient background to the image.
