I reckon it would be easier to go and use the pen tool and draw out one pettle.

I would then use the filter>noise, inside the pettle. I would then motion blur the noise.

Then add some colour.

I would then copy the pettle all the way round the main stem.

This is a pointless thread, i think.

I am sure there are many tutorials on this type of idea.
