A cautionary tale of read before you buy!.
Having stained all the ties with a 'dark jacobean' dye,i was going to give them a wash of diluted black ink to add some depth to the 'graining' they now have,but first needed to buy said ink.
So off i popped to the local hobby craft store,and duly brought said black ink to do the job,which i did this afternoon.
Anyway to cut it short,i went back upstairs earlier to see my handy work only to be confronted by a rather sparkley scene.......

It seem`s that in my haste to get back home i`d failed to properly read the label on the bottle of black ink that i`d brought,because as it turn`s out i`d gone and brought some 'Pearlescent' black ink.......
Anyhow, i now have some very sparkley ties to sort out!.
