1) Laruss- love the silver! Can you post how you did the silver?

I try to be organized, but I am so sorry that CCB didn't get one from Pixie, I really do not know how I did that.
To do the silver I actually use silver leafing.
I paint with acrylics, let it dry and then use an acrylic medium to add the silver leaf. I put on the medium with a brush and then place the leafing on the medium (it comes in verrrrrrrry thin sheets). I let it dry and then rub off the excess silver (or gold) with my fingers.
I then varnish the piece with a brush on varnish.
I use metal leafing a lot in my abstracts.
