Here are a couple more steps on my glossy project (see the first steps a couple of posts back).
I have to admit-giving the whole piece a gesso wash after the embroidery was a bit scary~ but once dried it was fine. I painted her with liquid water colors. Her hair seems to need something more, don't you think?
So, she was laying on my painting desk as I was looking for some things to put in an altered altoid tin, and I found these gee gaws that seemed to want to be on her. So, since they are not made to apply to fabric, I just stitched over the edges and such to hold them on. I think the rose and star on the belt dangle is good.
Now, what will I add next, what next?
As I was posting this, my muse said "words!"

Carol sweetie, this piece is great! Why don't you paint in the hair with a bit of color?
