My Mother's Jewels

My Mother's high school Graduation Picture 62 years ago.
 Her Jewelry that she gave me to make 'something beautiful' with.

I coated the canvas with art/basics Heavy Gesso in black
 then texturized using a stencil and art/basics soft gloss gel.
Once dry I started adding the elements.

All secure with art/basics modeling paste.......

Cover it all with art/basics Heavy Gesso-Black.

And then the magic...Finnabair art/ingredients Mica Powders completes it.
