Then - the Edge

I decided to build up some texture on the edges, so ran a "finger edge" (dipping my finger in the paint or gel and running an uneven bead around the edge) of Golden Coarse Molding Paste.  After the paste dried, I painted it Van Dyck Brown, the ran a finger edge of metallic bronze unevenly over the brown - but that doesn't show in this photo.  You'll see it in the photos of the individual pieces which come next.
