This small piece of art only took 4 hours to complete. I always begin by working from the center of the art outward. This keeps the piece from creating bubbles that are hard to lay flat. I included rayon and metallic threads in the petals to create a shine. The glow is reflected in the matte that is covered in a glass bead medium.
