Random experimentation (but turns out not so nice)

Reflections

It was a method that can be used to create colorful things cheaply. I lost my plastic fusing and needed to recreate it. However, as I did not have any baking paper, and tried to do iron it directly and it didn’t turn out as it should be. Now that I thin of it, I should have tried to use other type of paper that might work. It has became rather experimental to me.
