# trouble is, the died out petals tend to soak it up a bit.
so i'm trying to press some flat now that it'll hopefully fix better to.

so i can get my fiddly lines and it'll look a little creepier.

guilding paint might have been a better idea on refection, but i can still do that if it doesn't work out, this stuff isn't too expensive, and i'll just use it up on something else i'm sure.

# Is there nothing you can treat the petal with that'll give it a waterproof surface?
I'm imagining a sort of spray on silicone laminate, but I might well have just made it up inside my own head. If it doesn't exist, it should.

# there's definately spray-on varnish
