Carborundum Take Two

This is tricky stuff. Granted, what's shown here on my plate isn't quite where I stopped with the carborundum/medium mixture. I went back in wanting a stronger black.

The plate is mat board with a 100% coat of acrylic medium brushed on, then the carborundum/acrylic medium mixture (1:1).









  Here's the first state. I think I went a bit overboard with the carborundum. I'll be sanding some off and maybe filling some in with 100% medium. 

Off-topic but fun.
I have a banner hanging over a street in Georgetown. It's all due to the brainchild of Nick Ramos, link here. There are great banners by all kinds of artists. It was a fun stroll through downtown looking at the banners and if you need an afternoon away, check it out. It's only up until mid-November.










 

I especially liked this banner by embroidery artist Jennifer Andrews.
