Well, I think its finished, since the last pictures of the gold layer, it has been wine coloured, copper coloured, then a wash of interference in a lilac shade,
with each coat of paint it got worse, so I went back to silver,I left it alone all week, and last night looked at the dyes ready mixed on my desk and found a red, now I wanted a deep wine colour and this was bright red, but I thought I would try it any way, and it sunk into the silver a really nice shade, this morning it has had a quick rub over with copper and silver gilding cream, and I am now trying to leave it be, the light is so bad here this morning I can't get a good shot to show the gilding colours properly, but I need to stop so I thought I would show you all,before I do anything else to it.
I will do a better picture soon, but I am now off to sit on my hands :)
