The resulting dust from making the small sculptures I had kept, initially with thoughts of using it as a moulding or thickening agent in acrylic paint, but the colour of the dust was so varied I decided to use it with a binder ( firstly using PVA glue and then Co Polymer emulsion).
The result was pleasing and after a few trials it seemed stable, enabling me to use it in exhibitions and Open Studios for sale.

Once the painting was completed I then coated it with Acrylic Resin giving a gloss serface with protective UV properties.
