Your use of the unorthodox has had great results Fiona.

Fabulous result. It looks like enamel. I remember someone who also used this method with huge success. Was it Jenny? Can you remember her surname?

Your inks and bleach are always unique and inventive Fiona, this is like a page from a botanical book.
