More samples.  I quilted a small piece of calico and then painted it with Gesso.  After that I painted it with various colours of Acrylic paint including:

Rich Transparent Red Oxide
Quinacridone/ Nickel Azo Gold
Dioxazine Purple
Metallic Bronze
Metallic Gold

There might also have been some Payne's Grey and/or Indanthrene Blue, oh and there was some red too.  I really should make notes when I am messing about.

Thinking about adding some painted Bondaweb now.  I want it to look like it has been dug out of the earth.
