Nice progress. How did you apply the blue ''shadows''? Are they under the green? Or butt jointed with the green?


Thanks!
I cut strips out of Transaprent Violet Ultracote. With the adhesive side up on the green piece, I laid them down on the edges necessary using windex and squeeged everything smooth. Then using the waxed paper backing from the ultracote, I laid it over the covering in those areas and applied a little heat using an iron. You will still need to be careful when pulling the waxed paper off. Just enough heat to dry the windex and get a little tack going for the strips to stick. Trim shadow where necessary with an exacto as you go.
