Moon Robe second (or third?)stage

Awhile ago I posted a picture of my patchwork robe laid out to be glued up. I glued it up before leaving Cape Cod. Y'day had a chance to begin work on adjusting the colors. Acrylic paints used with added powdered pigments such as copper and gold. Still working on the colors. Also as you can see I have defined a "moon" in the center of the robe. Also, the edges are not trimmed yet.
I like the way this moon comes out in the photo. It almost looks like cloth.
The robe is 42"x37". I have clipped it too the blanket door I hung between the garage and workshop. The white will not be there in the end, but don't want to trim it yet. It's handy for hanging the robe whilst in process.
