The next layer is to make it a more solid green. I may reinstate the radial pattern, but probably not. I'm really liking the classic look with the more solid green.

I'll also add more gold, in the proper spots. I'm using old paints to make the green, and am already running low and mixing blues and yellow to get more green. But it's good to use the supplies I have; I can go buy more fabric paint if I need to.

And then I'll contemplate whether I will add patches like I always do on my black gig bags, or paint a dragon or something somewhere over the green, or a combination of the two. I've plenty of paints for that, since anything figural would be using the regular acrylics instead of the fabric paints. (The gold is already a regular acrylic, not a fabric one. I have to test to see if it makes the handles and shoulder straps too stiff; if it does I might have to go looking for a really good gold fabric paint. But I don't remember finding good quality metallics in fabric paint when I got all my Deka paints.)

Gosh, I miss the Deka fabric paints. But they stopped importing them years ago!
