Beaded Back to the Future DeLorean time machine. Bead embroidery on 16" x 20" painting. Part 2 of 3. Yesterday, I tried a new painting technique, sgraffito. To do this technique, paint your canvas one colour, then paint over it with a second colour. Using the 'wrong' end of your paintbrush, scratch in a drawing or design to reveal the first paint colour. You can also do this on a blank canvas using only one colour. In my painting above, I actually started with red acrylic. Then I painted black over it, and scratched in a spiral design. I did this a few times using several different colours. You can see my painted canvas HERE.

The spiral represents some sort of black hole through which Einstein travels in his beaded DeLorean time machine. What do you think happens to Einstein's clock as he journeys into the black hole? And, what will happen to Einstein? :o
