yours looks exactly right, probably from all the research you did. nice job!
Thanks for the comments. I have been second guessing myself that I took it too far. Yes you have to not be afraid and to not be determined to a certain pattern. It needs to look ornate/abstract in nature. It will lighten some when I knock the sheen down with the 3M pad prior to clear. I do have an art degree so It was kind of like a big art project so to speak.
