...AND YET MORE SURPRISES

Continuing yesterday's theme...

Surprise #1:  Another bunch of Rainbow Pencils (a different brand I found on amazon) arrived in the mail today from China, so I tried them out.  Good thing that these Rainbow Pencils are cheap, because I hate them.  They cannot be sharpened to a good point, and the lead keeps breaking during sharpening.  Ugh!  I would not recommend this brand at all.  Here's a photo of what NOT to get:

Surprise #2:  My back is demonstrably better this afternoon.  Hallelujah!  May it continue.

Surprise #3:  I thought I'd try out the new Rainbow Pencil on another "String Thing" tile for the same challenge as yesterday, #111.  So once again I tried Hamail, the focus of this challenge, with some Meringue and a little bit of Tipple.  Here it is...but the big surprise is the next photograph, in which I used the same tile but mirrrored it with my iPhone mirror app...and just look what happened.  All I can say is, wow.

I simply cannot believe what that mirror app did to my "so-so" tile.  I love it.

On the downside, you can see what not being able to get a sharp point does to the lines in the tile--very cloudy and mushy.  A nice effect if that's what you want, but as it happens, it isn't what I wanted.  That's ok, though, as I love the mirrored version anyway.

Once I saw that, I had to try it in another app on my phone called Waterlogue.  Here's that one.
