Creepy Portrait Phase 3

At this point, I took a table runner that I had laying around and I put it over top of the portrait and then rattle can sprayed white through it in an attempt to make a 'wallpaper' pattern on the back wall of the portrait. Again, forgot to mask the face, so it's over his face as well.
The amount of paint at this point has hidden the X pattern underneath the paper. We're talking about 8-9 layers of paint including the lace pattern here.
Work in layers.....that way you can keep hiding mistakes.
I suppose for the next piece where I use lace, I'll either really cut the pattern on the repeating edge better or just use one whole piece all at once. I really like the effect, but would like to do more with it.
