hang10tiki and Prikli Pear you both made my day very happy. I am smiling at both of you. I appreciate every time someone sends me a message to encourage me to continue on. Thank you.

===========================

Wish List #8 the Black Velvet for Stephen Seaton is now ready for his inspection. I will post on fb next and see what he says.

Here are the "maybe" last steps.

Stephen requested a moon. There is no way that I can free hand a circle. At a garage sale I found some templates and this was the first time I needed one of them. I used painter tape to hold it in place.

I also pressed it against the velvet so that none of my bush hairs could work behind it.

After I removed the template I put the painting into whatever angle worked best for painting the moon. Free floating!

I added detail to the moon and then some stars.

Next I added leaves to all of the bamboo.

I think I am done.

I touched up the frame with some matching paint

and here is how it looks.

Do you all think it looks done or does it need tweaking? Wendy
