Tea and Snacks

You can see the detail of the dinnerware and snacks better here.

All symbols are original

Here's a quick breakdown of how I combined various techniques...

• The cracker symbols were placed using blends.
• The cookie symbols were placed manually on one half, duplicated to the other side, and adjusted in the middle. The lemon cookies were an edited copy of the cherry cookies.
• The puff symbols were placed manually. I was thinking of chocolate donut holes with sprinkles. (Timbits for the Canadians)
• The back row of cheese symbols was drawn manually. The others are 3D objects.
• The sugar cubes are 3D objects.
• The plates and tea cups are symbols, but I adjusted the handle on the one for the bird (not shown above).
• The steam uses the feather effect.

There are more tricks, but I'll let you look for them. If you have questions though, just ask
