I got off to a slow start on this fella, but I’m into it now. I started with the comb and have now gone back and reworked a bit of it twice. It’s better. Now, I’m not sure about that very small, red, wing-like area, but I’ll wait and see if I can live with it.
Ah, smalti! Sometimes, I absolutely hate working with it. It is so messy and hard to cut. But then, I look at that color and gorgeous reflective quality and… well, it is worth it!
When it’s finished, I will use a wash of charcoal colorant and water on it to tone down the gray thin set. I prefer this to coloring the thin set, if I can get away with it, because that black thin set is so darn messy.
