This extra layering adds so much more to the story, I like it.

Thanks - it was a lucky coincidence - the original was in shades of gray, but my inkjet printer was running out of ink, so it messed up the colours!

An incredible series using this technique. I've never seen anything like it. Way to go!

The technique was developed (as so many are!) as a work-around. I have limited drawing / painting skills and can't always get the effects I visualise in my mind because my hands just won't execute them well enough. So in the middle of the night I had an Aha about how to cheat my way around the obstacle!

Same problem arose with me recently with creating movement and surge in a water fall. Ever use black glitter glue? Came from you line of reasoning, above!

that layer technique with the transparent sheet is amazing will you post a tutorial soon, or a sample of working materials - I don't know how it is called in german - are the sheets usually for overhead projectors?
