Aloha!

Now that I got those two Velvet Bettie's done
for the Bettie Page show, I can get back to practicing on some
more velvet vahines. Learned a lot from those two pieces.
I did one with acrylic and the other in oil. Needless to say
I put the acrylics away. Me likey oil way better!
I bought two different kinds of velvet to see the difference.
The Bettie ones were on velvet upholstery and this one here
is on Cotton Velveteen. I like the Velvet upholstery way better,
so I'll just buy that from now on. Got a few yards of the velveteen
so might as well use it though. Maybe try and push it since I'm just
playin around.

Mahaloz for lookin!
