process...
this is a combination of techniques. first, i took out the background, then i used the distort filter and added some waves to the image. i also used the watercolor filter and, finally, a little of the smudge filter. for some of the areas, i copied part of the image then pasted it on a separate layer and used the warp tool to change the shape. this helped even out the rough edges. i added the different strokes and the tattoo transfer to give the wings a little more definition and shape for their final flight.
Thanks for looking
