"Mermaid" Batik, painting on silk

Hi guys, so I had a little fun this weekend, I've decided to do some painting on silk (Batik) so this is what I came up with.

I thought that it would be interesting to do some pictures taken on different stages as my work progresses, I’ve  seen before some artists do that and I always love to see pictures in progress. How about you? 

 and finished

and close up pictures
