Working from my newly created schedule, I completed a first layer of the paper money and all the coins. Some of the coins got a third or fourth layer of pattern. Worked hard on the integrating the edges.Another layer on the background- a dark green silk drape with a subtle suggestion of folds. There's a long day ahead of working on the face of the bills and the notches on the weight's center bar, and the tops of the weights. Then it will be complete.


It's snowing and being in my studio with windows on three sides is like being inside a snow globe. Beautiful, even, cool light.
