IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    Paint Shop Pro was used to create the
gifs used 
for the fabric textures, wallpaper, and the painting.  Everything else was
purely Pov-Ray.  
One technique I find useful is to have one .pov file that exists only for
creating new items
to go into the scene.  It's much faster to render one object to test it's
appearance, than to 
render the entire scene.  When I am satisfied with the result, the code is then
pasted into
the larger .pov file, and often into a separate .pov file to build a library of
objects I can 
draw on for other renders.
