Oops

28 May 2006

It would be dishonest not to share the result of yesterday's fumbling with onion skin.

So that's the result, after a wash and a night of drying. Amateur yellow, irregular in places... Not too bad.

Except for the stains here and there made by the close proximity of - you may say rubbing against - a few crushed blackberries.

Oh well. Colour experiments are fun no matter what!
