The moon is made of…gutta?

I’ve fancied doing some moon miniatures (mooniatures?) for a while.   I put a blob of gutta on the silk aiming to keep a white patch to paint a moon on later.  (The gutta stops the silk paint spreading where you don’t want it to go.  The kind I use dries white).

You’re supposed to set the paint with an iron then wash off the gutta.  But after I spray-painted on the blue-green sky colours using my little travel-size spray bottles, the blob of gutta sure was looking moony.  So I left it there.

I hope to use this background to make two or three miniatures featuring different phases of the moon.  Watch this…er…space.
