Thanks

Yesterday I went to the $2 shop down the road & found a bunch of fake white flowers. It's a posie so there are 6 flowers all joined on the one stem. I did the same as with the filter paper. Soaked in universal, dried in the drying cabinet, soaked & dried twice more to get good colour depth. ...

This sounded like fun so I had a play yesterday.....I soaked some filter paper circles in universal indicator then dried them my glassware dryer, soaked them a second time & dried again to get a nice dark colour. Actually comes out orange on the paper, not green. I folded the circles into rough ...
