This is done with a heavy coat of black acrylic gesso, dabbled about with my fingers. Silver on top and rubbed back slightly.
Messy, but good fun.

Fantasy Finish
Every now and then you get a job that needs something a bit 'off-the-wall'.

Re: Fantasy Finish
Lovely job indeed 
It feels somehow familiar, both the frame and art, have you do one before for the same customer?

Re: Fantasy Finish
I think the customer saw another frame and wanted one similar.

Re: Fantasy Finish
Hi Peter,
That's a very impressive finish and as far as I can remember, you have shown something similar before. I was very impressed the first time and I'm still just as impressed this time as well. I think that this is one of your most original ideas and also one of your best. I think this finish can easily be called a classic and with much justification as well.
