Oh Mary!

This lovely lady with the flower hat was shared by the talented Belinda Schneider at bel's nook.

Tech stuff: background was done with a blend of glitter glue and drawing ink, both blue. I mix them up in a small jar. Glue doesn't fully dissolve, and forms kind of jelloed flabs (in lack of other words), anyway, it is gooey nasty stuff to paint with. However, it dries very beautifully into dark patches. Glitter almost vanishes in the process, what's left gives the piece an iridescent sheen.
