Today's MIX challenge is to use thread, gold and or silver thread. I've used Silver thread for this angel.
I see many cards where the ladies loop the thread and attach. I'm loop challenged. So I did paper embroidery.
I told Anita the hardest part is the piercing, but it is really threading the beading needle. I had to borrow my DH's 3.00 cheaters. My 1.25's weren't enough. Time to upgrade.
The second hardest part of this was the hair. I needed a third hand.
As with most afternoons in Utah's Dixie, it's windy, this angel needs some hairspray.
For this background, I first did the Mother of Pearl technique with the metallic white acrylic paint. When dry it was smooshed into the Lumiere paint and water. There is even more sheen done this way.

Oh goodness, I bet this took quite a while. I love her wind blown hair...no spray needed. Funny about hubby's readers. I sure need mine for up close. It's a splendid card!!!
