I started at 12:30 in the afternoon, laying in the
second coat of mortar over a dry rough coat, 1 lime, 2 sand. This is my
topcoat, I thought it would be dry in 30 minutes, ha, it was 6 o'clock before
I could start transferring the image, 12:30 before it was done. I didn't
want to work at night but I had to. I left the shadows of the figure for
secco.
The spoon edge transferring was finished and I wanted to pounce the halo with white pigment, but it didn't show up and I didn't want to use a dark pigment so I used a dulled nail to score the 3 circles around her head. 
To test the colors dry before you use them in secco, dip the end of a piece of school chalk in the wet color, it will dry fast. 
12 hours later it was finished, the 'good fresco or buon fresco' as a fresco is called when done in one setting. I'm going to change that :( because I want to add some shadows and highlights on the figure. 
Here are the secco changes I am working on, the halo is gold, the shadows and highlights I'm still working on. The Cobalt Blue Dark changed to a blue gray, I'm working with that as fresco. Her left hand was changed. Here was my problem, the cartoon moved as I was imprinting it.
