Love seeing the process. Having only dabbled once in velvet, I am wondering are you using more than just brushes to rub the paint into the fibers? Some of that seems too subtle for just brushes unless you are somehow building up layers? I had a hard time getting the paint to go below the fiber "hairs" when I did it. Is there a way to thin out the paint and have it kind of go on in a "wash", or do you always have to use paint only, and the amount you use controls how deep of a shade you end up with? I will eagerly watch progress on your latest beauty. :)
