playing around

This weekend I have allowed my self some play time,
When I am working on a project I always have other bits around that I work on in stages, this velvet had been foiled a while ago, and while working on something else, I wiped my brush which was loaded with Daler Rowney interference colour, to see what it would look like, I liked the result and so painted the whole length, yesterday I decided to stitch into it,this is my first play result, more to come

Golden Girl

This is the next layer in the torso's development, I don't like this colour gold at all, its has turned a brassy colour, and now she is dry I can quickly move on to the next stage, I was looking a last Wednesdays post, with the silver and interference layer, and imagining what would happen if I poured the wonderful Iron Gall ink that Lynda (Purple Missus) discovered and blogged about here way back on 18Th March 2007, the textures she creates are amazing.
I shall start building up some different layers with a dry brush and metallic paints.
