Here's my on going velvet battlefield. it started life as one of those nail and string[or wire]hobby art things from the 1970s i found in a thrift store.-You know, string stretched between the nails to make a geometric pattern .In this case it was mounted on a black velvet board .Anyway i decided to pull all the nails out and do some black velvet art.

Didn't have a clue really,on how to use this medium effectively ,so every few years I'd get it out and try and do something with it so it.Its no Hammel but here's my Margret Kean inspired big eyed waif velvet Elvis with tikis.

its just a section of it i directly scanned the painting in small sections-my photos were crap- I'll scan some more if any ones interested...
