Michelle,
It gets even better. I was living in Lae, in Papua, New Guinea, where I was using copper shim to model portraits of the local people. I was taught the original technique by an English woman and worked out the varnishing method after lots of trials and errors, with an Indian friend (who designed carpets in her spare time) and I learned the painting technique from a Dutch artist. I'm interested to know if you've been able to source the products I mentioned?
