I began this piece as a deep dark red piece but changed my mind. Next, I painted it metallic rose but that wasn&#8217;t quite right either. \u00a0Finally, I gave the board a spray paint coat of off white. While the paint was\u00a0still tacky, I dabbed off some of the color, leaving it textured\u00a0with hints of it&#8217;s previous incarnations showing through. It might be called the Goldilocks approach, where it takes a few tries to get it &#8220;just right&#8221;. \u00a0Instead of using the heart behind the cross, I used it to frame the face of the Genteel Lady. Because the heart has a little dip at the point that would go behind the cross and normally not show, I added a drop clear bead into the niche. \u00a0It was a feminine touch that seemed just right for this Genteel Lady.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6164\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_6164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
