Sewing pattern tissue paper that is partially “Froyled” 😂😂with leftover liquitex acrylic ink-white in a needle nose bottle, quinacridone nickel azo gold, and watered down liquitex gold. I may leave it like it is fore a specific effect, or I may add a little bronze, and possibly a little bone black. Stay tuned.  Froyle Davies FroyleArt
