Could not help to laugh. It sure sounds like you had a very Chaplinesque day.

Kenny, I quite like how this accident turned out.

Don't! I'd have been overjoyed to get that photo deliberately; to manage it accidentally is just plain genius! Great image and all the better for your "mishap".

[kenj8246]

Yeah, there's probably no way I could've done that on purpose.

It's better to be lucky than good, as the old adage goes.

Makine Orotone can be tricky, as emulsion on glas is prone to start "frilling", where the wet stuff makes the emulsion crack and eventually fall off...
This happened here, but I LOVE it!! Such beautiful patterns and look how her face is free for it...

Emil, that's wonderful! Certainly a "good mistake". So is this basically gold plated glass with liquid emulsion or is there more to it than that?
