PolyChroma meets SpectraLOCK

One of the places I went today was Lowe's, to see if I could find an adhesive spreader. Not that I'm installing any flooring which would require adhesive, but it's the perfect thing for combing patterns into paste-paper. So I was in the tile department, and found myself looking at a display of grout additives. No need to settle for plain old grey or off-white lines in between your bathroom tiles—now there are lots of shiny options! Some of it even glows in the dark.

The practical upshot of all this is that you can buy superfine hologram glitter in industrial quantities. So, because I am a complete sucker, I did, and used it to decorate some more paste-paper. I suspect I will succumb to the lure of the glow-in-the-dark powder eventually, although it's fairly expensive, so I may not bother. But I sure do have enough glitter to last me the rest of my life.

(I do apologize to the Professor, for covering his entire attic with soggy, brightly-colored sheets of paper. I've picked most of them up now.)
