I'm making a triptych

Gilded Roe Skulls - WIP

Give a girl a skull and she will gild
Give a girl a box of skulls and it will greatly impact on her social life...

Washing

Black and Gold

Base colour

Gilding in progress

Sockets remain black

A neon base, makes me wish I was colour blind.

Selective gilding

Sockets and forehead gilded, have added a further diamond in pink within the gilt diamond
Considering an ever-decreasing diamond-within-diamond pattern for the forehead, or a complimentary colour within this. As yet, undecided.
