A tingling, misty marvel
Blew hither in the night,
And now the little peach-trees
Are clasped in frozen light.
Upon the apple-branches
An icy film is caught,
With trailing threads of gossamer
In pearly patterns wrought.
The autumn sun, in wonder,
Is gayly peering through
This silver-tissued network
Across the frosty blue.
The weather-vane is fire-tipped,
The honeysuckle shows
A dazzling icy splendor,
And crystal is the rose.

). I loved the effect it was going to create. I was half watchig TV and half doing this and a big drip of the crackle paint dropped on the cover! I wiped it up--but long story made short, it did not all come up and I rubbed almost a hole in the cover trying to get it off. I dug through my stuff until I found a rubbon that would cover it. I had to ink over it a little (rubons serve as a resist) with a permanent ink to get it to tone down a little and match the book more. I actually ended up using nearly the whole sheet of rubbons throughout the book to carry out the added look. So in this case, the big boo boo on the book worked out fine.
