Red and Gold Spinning Design - 12 Sep 2022

Titles are hard, ok?

So I tried out tracing paper to make another tiny (A7) design, and wow is it actually really easy. Here was I, carefully drawing things out like a chump!

Oh, and it is from a Samira Mian video (#12 Alhambra Granada) although I made a slight tweak to it, that makes some angles less 45 degrees in some parts.

Paint it Gold!

Then I tried out painting the largest parts in gold. Really thick, to ensure it shines in more angles. Or when seen in more different angles or something.

Which works much better, alhough there are still angles where you can see that the metallic particles (it’s not really gold, right?) are not laid down evenly. Guess I’m not really using this ink properly, and should get a gold paint or something. Oh well.
