Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

Okay I fooled around a bit with the white opaque flakes and didn't really find anything special about them. I used them on a board that I was hacking around trying to get an antique feel like Mae Chevrette but I never managed to get anywhere close to how cool her paintings are.
