Pop Candy

I had so much fun doing this! After the Pop Art challenge yesterday i wanted to create my own Pop Art piece.
Here is how i did it:

1. I chose 2 photo's that i wanted & merged as one.

 2.Followed the steps on this tutorial, there are some minor details that i did change with the Halftone Effect to get the effect that i wanted but everything i followed text book. This tutorial is awesome & so easy to follow. If anyone has a go, i'd love to see them :)

I made the Lollipop by playing around with the Distort Filter --> Twirl & repeated until i had the desired swirl i wanted. I then used the circle marquee & selected an area & then copied & pasted onto a new page & made the lollipop stem. I then transferred to the final image & repeated step 4 on the link to create the Halftone effect.

Here is my final image. The theme today was "Candy" & as i was inspired by Pop Art this is what came about. The words in the speech bubble are from an Iggy Pop song called Candy. If you're a 90's child like me, you would already know that ;)
