In this, I applied metallic acrylic paint; let it dry and then painted black acrylic paint over it all. I then took a pallet knife and cut out the design you see. Reverse Creation! In a way, it is like the Cuna Indian Mola where they put layers of cloth together and cut out and sew to bring out the different colors in their design. Reverse Applique. I hope that you enjoy!
