Splashback, working larger.

Splashback stage 1. 

This is the first stage of a splashback for behind a cooker. Regular, toughened 4mm glass (not low iron, so rather greenish, which is no problem).  Strips of silver leaf laid on the wetted glass, left to dry and distressed.

Splashback stage 2.

First layer of paint, with a variety of colours, laid on in one go. Working in reverse I have to imagine how layers will look all together. The silver leaf is now covered. Further layers will build up the colour. The work will be viewed eventually from the front.
