FFFC Challenge progress and Lutrador Samples

This isn't a very good picture but I took three sections of my little "quilt" and first of all I covered it with irridescent tissue paper, stitched it down using free motion stitching. I stitched some ribbon on and then couched thicker threads between the ribbon. The edges were couched with some silk "threads" a friend gave me. They are the waste product from the making of silk.
Another three sections I covered with painted Lutrador and free motion stitched all over it. I then applied some aluminium shim which I had painted and embossed with Heat it up! embossing powder. I couched the outer edge with copper wire using a satin stitch and variegated rayon thread. Sorry the picture isn't too great. I am not sure what I am doing wrong with the camera it's not like me at all. Oh! well.

To date I have 12 different samples in my sketchbook pf the painted Lutrador here are just a selection. The first one above is lutrador painted with Stewart Gill Alchemy - Genesis.

This one was first painted with Stewart Gill Alchemy - Fusion and then I applied Heat it up! embossing powder - colour verdegris. I then heated it with the heat tool and it has a lovely bubbly texture and just a few holes. I think the paint/embossing powder acted as a resist to the heat tool. This piece was painted with System 3 acrylic paint in Burnt Umber and then randomly with WH Smith Acrylic in Gold. I haven't heated this one as yet and may not since I love the colour.
I painted this piece with Dylon Colorfun in Deep Pink mixed with Pearl-ex pigment powder in due red/blue. One one half I applied Stewart Gill embossing powder in Patina Bronze. I haven't heated this one yet but will.
This piece was first painted with Liquitex gel medium - Black Lava and then overpainted with Stewart Gill Byzantia.
