I have a client that wants to really go out of the box and do something unique!  She likes red, lots of texture, is open to anything.  Should be a great thing for me as an artist, but I feel stuck.  I have done so much of the same thing that I don't know where to start!  She liked a burlap sample that I showed her, but is open to whatever.

Thanks! Misty

Red Venetian plaster, red lusterstone with a stencil or red lusterstone thru cheesecloth--just pull it right after is sets up a little, glaze it.
