Stained glass window bangle

I have been trying a different style in my color anodized aluminum today - looking for a more painterly effect.  My subject was a stained glass window:



So this is just a work in progress, trying a new technique and seeing how it works, what I need to change, etc, etc.

I was hoping for more vibrancy in the colors but I guess painting them on leaves them paler. Maybe I need to use more concentrated colors for a painterly effect?  Or maybe I need to try this not on a matt finish aluminum, but on polished aluminum...

Hmmm. I like the idea.... it encourages me to keep going with it.... What do you think? Soooo many possibilities!!!

I'm loving this. I'm also envisioning a cuff with sheet music for a song that is precious to you. What a great gift for your singing group. I've been thinking of creating this on one of my little dresses, although I'd be more inclined to etch a Bruce or Dylan tune:)....I think I'll get on that.....

I think this is LOVELY! Not something I've seen before, either. I think a Tiffany lamp design would be cool!

Lovely! Yes I think shiney would look more like glass as well.
