Cigar wood paper, acrylic paint and silver metal leaf inside a cigar box
This piece was commissioned for someone that breeds Bettas and he was trying to get them bred in time for the fourth of July. He succeeded.
I used a sheet of thin wood paper from a cigar box to create this Betta. I etched the fins and scales using a pointed metal file. I used acrylic paint for the fish and the background. I created the water rings using silver metal leaf.
