fish fashion

So Ive finished making the pattern for the fish scales and now I'm moving on to the design on the plastic cups.
These are pictures of the work through stages... I began by painting the scales with watery grey paint. I painting it on unevenly to give a washed up effect.

after this i didnt really get the effect i wanted so I smeared ink onto the scales and put some white embossing powder after that i melted it on with a heat gun..I then decided to add another layer of embossing powder but this time silver ....
