Another WOYWW – check out the blog and join in – it’s fun and always inspirational!
Still working on my little mini about love (go back to yesterday’s post to see the cover) but not done yet!
I had a happy accident that I think needs further exploration. I had printed a photo on some cheap photo paper (just unearthed it while tidying and wanted to use it up) and the ink was taking forever to dry. I had the pot of interference violet out as I used it on the wings on the cover so on a whim I dusted it over the still wet photo. It makes the photo look a little dull tilted one way but tilted the other the iridescent violet really shows. I think this could be a bit fun to experiment with! Not sure if it will show up but here are a couple of photos:
Since DD and DS are off out for the day I have high hopes for lots of WOYWW visits! And with luck I’ll finish this up in between hopping around the internet and post it tomorrow.

Happy accidents are always the best. I love it when that happens. I hope you do follow it up as i think you will be able to get some great results.
i really like your tag and the way you have made the chinese fold booklet.

I like how this book is turning out. I am curious, what is the pot of interference, a mica powder, embossing powder, or ? I sure like the effect, though. Happy WOYWW.

Really interesting effect – look forward to seeing what you do with it again …
