Creative Chemistry 102
once, twice, thrice & again (again)

Many of the techniques in this class took trial-and-error to get the effect I believed I was trying for - good thing I was making 4 of everything from the outset. For posterity, I've kept each attempt here; you will see that some are better than others. As a side note some went well the first time and I had difficulty replicating it, and some it took till the fourth (colour pallet) tag to feel a sense of mastery (the ability to replicate it again).

  3. I really like the methodology you used in choosing four color palettes and working all the way through them. I did several of the techniques in multiples, but not with this deliberation. May have to back and do some more. thanks as always for sharing.
