It’s been a a month, exactly, since I started this one. The base coat was oil, so I wanted to give it plenty of time to dry before working on it some more. I also was feeling lazy, to be truthful. I’ve had two more goes at it, with oil pastels and oil pencils. I like the visual and tactile texture that’s beginning to develop, but it has a way to go yet.

I’m not sure what this little bowl will eventually hold. I’ve got some gorgeous luna moth wings (thanks, Pyewacket!) that I might combine with leaves. The problem is, figuring out how to adhere the wings without damaging them. I’m also considering something viney, perhaps hair and/or braided paper.
