Flower Stems...how do you suggest I go about them?

Okay, so, for one of my classes at school, we're supposed to make an ad, and I'm doing mine completely with photoshop, and I want to make flower stems, because the flowers will be made out of shoes. I've got the shoes all covered...

I just need help with stems. I've tried a few things...so if you could help that would be very awesome! It doesn't have to be like super good either, just simple, but that might look like a flower stem.

Thanks so much guys!!

what is a stem?

okay, there's the flower, and it grows on a stem....long green thing that usually has leaves on it...

oh...lol... Use the penTool, make selection, and fill. Then bevel it with or without layerEffects. ..Or?

Ever seen a tentacle tutorial? Basically, just create a rectangular or triangular shape and apply the shear filter (Filter>Distort>Shear) to make it look wavy. You should be able to create something nice like that.

Hey, la...Tapgirl, long time no see.
I just wanna ask the forum one thing, your absolutly correct in your assumtion that stem menas what you say, but could the word stalk also be correct here ??

And without putting you down, tapgirl, I would like to offer you this link I use something like it to get words I don't know...(remembering a thread way back, when you said english was hard...)

espoir il aide...???? Wow, I did some french, How was it ?

I never said English was hard...that's the only language I speak and will only speak. I've lived in California all my life...maybe you're thinking of someone else. And with the stems...that's what I was taught in about 2nd grade and from then on, so I will stick to my use of stems.

Sorry I did mix you up. with a french girl of wich I don't remember the name...obviesly ! No real harm intended :-)


But is stalk wrong when talking 'bout flowers ? I don' speak english on a daily basis, so I just wondered in order to expand my vocabularity.

Stalk is when you're talking about corn. Corn stalks. But there are other types...I had never heard that part of a flower called that though. I figured out a way to do them anyway...I'll show ya'll when its completely done.

Okey, thanks for the information, now I never will say "flowerstalks" again :-) ....* pounds his head in the wall feeling rather dumb *
