Collage Obsession Challenge - Transformation

From the above image to the below transformation

The original Geisha image is from Dover Publications. First I turned it to gray scale so I could use the emboss filter. Once that was finished I turned it back to RGB and added a gradient from red to purple. I added some custom shapes, more filters, bevel, outer glow, and lighting on multiple layers. I used the perspective tool to bring the bottom sides in. Then I gave it just a little texture. AND there you have it - a new transformation.

    You may already know this, but that means "pretty" in Japanese.
    JoanMarie, thank you so much for sharing your art with us, and also for telling us the steps that you took. This is a wonderful transformation! I absolutely love the final color of the piece. It's so rich.
