The black centre stripe is matte paint, which is a nice contrast with the very shiney mother of pearl lustre on each side of it. The diagonal stripes on the right hand side of the rose, is where I have resisted the lines and therefore there is no mother of pearl over them. I quite like the contrast. There is texture paste under the gold work . . . and a little bit of pen work too!

Easter Cross
I have been painting little porcelain crosses lately. Here is a small one which I will give to my friend Jeanette tomorrow - which is Friday the 13th. It has lovely mother of pearl on the it, but unfortunately it doesn't show up very colourful in the picure.I applied the gold with a very fine brush (and a steady hand!)
