In the AM Class we tried an experiment with vinegar. We painted our fish with vinegar and then pressed tissue paper squares on top. When the vinegar dries, the paper comes off supposedly leaving the stain of the color on the paper. Sadly, this did not occur...I tried to do it on two different kinds of paper after class and still the colors didn't bleed...I had thought perhaps the paper plate just wouldn't absorb the colors...now I have no idea what went wrong.
