Attempting to paint...

I am not a painter... but I am a doodler...
This piece was done as part of an Art Challenge group I belong to, this month we were told our medium was Paint...
So, I got a small sheet of Polycarbonate, cut it roughly to shape with a jeweler's hand saw, used some grinding/sanding tools to get the shape more fine tuned... Then I mixed colors & painted based on a doodle of mine, I painted this with toothpicks.  I sealed it with a spray sealer, applied a gel coat... Then I formed custom jump pieces out of 20 guage silver wire & put together a chain... photographs are taken on a variety of cloth backgrounds.  The piece is less than 4" across.
