Book Casualty

Great. Had popped into the car for a nap after lunch, the sinus demanded proper rest if it was to leave us alone the rest of the afternoon. Little did we know the sacrifice was to be far, far greater.

We'd to park in a puddle-filled lot today - not a small pool but one that was enough to immerse our Frankenstein greenback totally - so make that 1cm deep. This has *just* been proven :'(

The moment the book took the plunge all thoughts of hygeine went out of our head, overwritten by the Primary Command 'SAVE BOOK SAVE BOOK SAVE BOOK!!!'. Not only because we loves our books but because our ambigrams, our receipts and other whatnots that ends up being bookmarks were also stuffed in said book.

Doesn't help that our ambigrams were drawn using the Stabilo ink pens - thankfully no casualties with the ambigrams although there is slight smearing. While all completed ambigrams have already been scanned we still loves the originals, and they're actual proof that it's our handiwork. Ryan's a bit wet, so's ryhen, but thankfully Henry sketch 1 and Steven sketch 2 (which we just only did this morning!) is untouched, just slightly wet at the sides. Thank goodness not all our ambigram eggs have been kept in this basket.

Now we have a tissue-paper sandwich on our shelves drying the 'bookmarks' while the book may take over a day to dry up. It might just achieve that olde parchment look then, or just be as deformed as Frankenstein's Monster.

Recipe to achieving paper parchment look? Oh the pain at looking at the puir boke...
