Bit curious about the faint rectangle in the middle. Artifact of camera work, or a bit of overpaint?

"will spray pigment far and wide…" is too true. I wondered if a caution of cover whole work with scrap paper, say, newspaper sheets, layered from outer edge to closest, tacked together with masking tape, might be appropriate.

Lovely work, worth the extra effort!

Prior overspray from another project. It's not noticeable when it's laid flat, just in the picture when the sun shines on it.

Nice job. It is looking really good.

We did something similar on a some black felt mats to go on our game tables. Mixed in some blues and and oranges to make nebulae. Porous Sponges also work pretty well to create gas clouds and nebula.
