WIP Queen Anne's Crows No0 1
I have to admit while I really like the half and half harlequin coloring of this particular niche it's really rocking in metallic gold paint! I need to add a second coat of paint and then when it's dry enough buff on some metallic black gold wax.
I will add purple to the back of niche (inside) and I think it's pretty much done.
And Now with Gold!
The lighting is not the best, but I added a first layer of metallic gold paint on the side walls of the niche. It looks great not in this photo of course, but trust me the gold and the purple really pop!
I need to find my stash of barbed wire bits and pieces, there's a natural crease line in the timtex about a third up from the bottom that seems like a natural spot to put some barbed wire. As I've been painting this piece I've been contemplating what other colors and embellishments I want to add to this piece, aside from the tiny bit of barbed wire I haven't come up with much yet.
Egg
Progress
This whitish egg will be replaced by one that has been painted to look like a crows egg, it's currently drying. Now to make the sides for the egg niche and make a decision on the larger niche's background. To paint the niche background copper or not to paint? To collage vinage papers and fabrics or not to collage?
