New craft mirrors

I'm slowly getting ready for some possible craft fairs by working on a few new "Monet" mirrors. I do mainly water lily designs in acrylic however wanted to try a few in other media. These two are in wax (the brighter one, and oils. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Wax is harder to blend and do subtle colors due to the limited palette I have without investing in more colors. Oils dry more slowly but give the richness I like. Both are though good alternatives to the acrylic which tends to dry too fast and much darker so colors are more difficult to control.
