Next loop .
Add a new layer. Make 2 clicks in the same place you did the other one.

Now click once , out to the left .

Next click ..remember to HOLD the button so you can swing it down a little.
I have marked this one with an X and a O. X is where you click and then
swing it down to about where the O is. Be sure and watch your loop outline
and you can tell about where you want to stop. When you get it where you want it
let off the button.

Now Ctrl C to copy it..then Ctrl E to paste it as new selection.
Keep selected...go to Image...Mirror..click the selection tool to make it active
and click on the loop and move it into place against the other one.
De-select. Draw a selection box all around both loops...click inside to select them.

Now follow the same steps as before .
Ulead Art Texture..same settings..
Greg's Factory Output Vol 2...same settings, or you can play with these settings to get
a different shine to it.
Then the Drop Shadow....same settings.

You can make as many loops as you want this way.

Now for the ties going down... use the same settings on your Draw tool.
Add a new layer.
Click once right there where your loops meet..in the center..HOLD the mouse button
and drag it down to however long you want your string to be then let off the button.
The red X at the top is where I start and the red X at the bottom is where I end.

Now click once on the left side of your string..about where the red X is here and HOLD the
button down. Now swing it a little to the left and pull it down a bit. See how your
string curves there ? Now let up on the button.

Now click once and HOLD it..on the right side...about where the red X is here.
As you are holding the mouse button down...swing it to the right and down just a tad.
See how your string starts to curve more ? When you get the curve you like let off the button.

Hit Ctrl C to copy it..then Ctrl E to paste it..keep selected and go to Image...Mirror.
Keep selected and click on Selection tool to make it active. Now click on the string
and move it into place opposite the other one.
De-select it..and reselect both strings. Now go apply the same filters and settings on it that you
used on the bow loops. Don't forget to add the drop shadow also.

Now you can add a new layer and add a couple more strings this way if you want.
The only difference is when you draw your string...draw it out to a different spot..
that way it won't be in the exact same place as your other ones.

Last...for the center button.
Add a new layer. Select the Preset Shapes tool...Circle...Filled..Antialias checked
and the others Unchecked.

Draw a small circle in the center of the bow.

Now use the Magic Wand to select it.
Go to Image...Plugin Filter's...Greg's Factory Output Vol 2...Poolshadow.
Use the default settings.
Now add a drop shadow to it.

WooooHooooo !! Your done !!!
All ya have to do now is Go to Layers Drop down box...drag the bottom layer up to the trash can
Now Merge Visible layers.

There are many ways you can play with this..you can use a Blade Pro preset for the outline if you want.
Get Creative !!! *S* And have fun playing !!
