So here is my update on the strata piece I'm working on. The biggest change came when I used a piece of sheer multi coloured material on the upper portion and a small stripe towards the bottom. In the upper left I have a hand stencil done in gel drying that will add some interest to the piece. I've added some black shimmery aluminum oxide my bro in-law gave me (he uses it for sand blasting.) In fact he's given me some fun metal shavings in indigo blue, bronze and copper that I hope to use somewhere in this piece. Or at least a little :-) Then I got out my copper and bronze inks and did some strizzling to create a nice luminous effect under coming layers of glazes. The various coloured glazes are what I'm preparing to do next, love the effects I've been getting by alternating between transparent & opaque, warm and cool tones as well.
The colours in the photo don't fully match up with the actual, but you get the idea. Have a great weekend!
