I spent some of yesterday doing experiments with possible techniques for the the overlays, and ended with with hands like Lady Macbeth's (always assuming that Duncan's blood was purple acrylic ink!). For such tenacious colour, the effect on the gauze was disappointingly feeble.

I'm concerned about the inktense because the first gauzes are beginning to look much muddier than when I started, but I think acrylic ink is not a better solution, in the end.
