Chris--first, let me say that Dan and Aurora and I found your "Making an Aspis--Ring method" thread inspiring. I'm not sure I'd have anything but some sheet bronze without it!
Bea is quite a good painter, for her age, so I let her paint all the red after I drafted the owl (copied off a vase) and she made very few errors. Like you, I tried to get her to do as much as possible. And I ALSO tried ot get some shop etiquette across (this is why we don't interrupt dad when he's doing detail work! This when we were interrupted while applying gold leaf.)
Anyway, I thought they'd be worth a hoot.
