FIRST UFO ALMOST FINISHED

I started this in a little workshop Sandy gave me in England. We started with tissue paper I drew a celtic design in crayon then iron it on with bondoweb onto some lutrador. Then stained it with tea...
So I now have stitched the beads on and stitched
some fancy yarns then painted it with nail polish, it gives it a leather look and also some liquid gold leaf, added a bit of copper glitter. I add some walnut ink to make it a bit browner.. Now I have to burn an uneven edge around it and add it to a background, maybe a piece of my rust not sure yet.. Posted by Picasa

Dianne, this is a marvelous piece of art. Myriads details, preparation, and all sorts of materials in it. Carol wants to touch it, but I'll be too afraid to touch it ... it looks so delicate! :)
