Heaven forbid!

I just completed this sandpaper painting and I quite like it.
I didn't know if the gold would show up well in the scanned image but I think it holds it's own. The scan is not quite so sparkly gold, but pretty close.
I wonder how I would translate this into fiber art? How would I get the gold to appear similarily? Perhaps an acrylic medium and gold powder? Maybe embossing powder? The only time I tried using embossing powder on fabric it left an "oily" ring around the embossed area. Could it have been the wrong stuff?
Someone asked if I would talk about using sandpaper to paint on.
It started because I use alot of sandpaper at work, it becomes matted with paint particles, and the grit wears off. I find these smudges to be intriquing, and they render the sandpaper useless after some use. I pocket the used bits and now have quite a collection of sandpaper bits. My favorite is 400 grit black sandpaper.
I use qouache as my primary paint, it flows beautifully over sandpaper. The grit holds the paint, drags against the brush, It is quite a tactile experience.
Try it!
I have bought some 1600 grit (I think that's the number) and have been reluctant to try it. In my mind, I think this sandpaper will be too much like paper. Heaven forbid!
I came across a really large grit sandpaper in the basement and thought to try it, but the grit is way too big and the color of it interferred with my design ideas. I have heard that they sell white sandpaper!
ut-oh! I found the white.... shoot! I think I am going to need to purchase!
