 Yuri Geller bends spoons, I bend forks!

Just noodling around with one fork and all of a sudden a lotus blossom appeared. All this because littlegett said we could use 'expert' editing.

Here are the approximate steps to create this one:
Start with , make canvas square and all black b/g. Dup & reverse fork and place it above original.
Use Polar Cordinates (rectangular to Polar - 100%) to get arc. Separate the two forks and move the top one to the left & position it.
Snip(copy) the tines off the two forks and place them in the center, scale smaller. Add center (polarize the two tines until you get something you like). Adjust b/g as needed and merge down as needed to keep the file manageable.
At the end, add gradient of two reds to get nice color, (adj. opacity). There's a tinge of red in the black because I couldn't figure out how to get the color behind the b/g and still show.

There's probably an easier way to do this, but this is how I did it, just fooling around.

This is FUBAR, Forked up beyond all regonition, to ever being a fork, but nice results. I guess it is One fork, cloned into two. I would've liked to more of the fork prongs. Thanks for the details, it can be useful.

I have to ask (because it's like me to ask silly questions), "what the fork am I looking at?" ;-)

This goes way beyond fork, that's for sure :-)
