Ok so first of all , make a new file, make it 500x500 , just got the sake of the tutorial.
Set the background to black , then add a lense flare, like this.
Ok now you have done that , use the smudge tool and push the flare out in all directions, try and keep the smudges in curvy lines, like so.
Once you have done that , go to filter>artistic>chrome and select that.
then once you are done with that, you can change the colour of the "silk" by going to image>adjustment>colour balance , then make it whatever colour you want , and you should get something like this.
Thanks for taking time to read my guide.
