Just a small part of the story
For FlickrFriday's #drop theme
I tried this "drop art" a few weeks ago using a rather random multicoloured background. It worked surprisingly well. I've wanted to try it with text / books to see if it could be effective with words.
This is created by a layer of glycerine drops held above my kindle. The kindle allowed me to increase the size of my text as needed to get a good image. It also meant the text was flat, which might have been tricky with a proper book. Because the text was so large, I did struggle to get any interesting words showing through, but I've certainly proved the point I was trying to.
And, yes, clearly the book on my kindle at the moment is not one of the literary greats. In my defence, I've spent several months struggling with a few Classics - Rudyard Kipling's Kim has taken me about 6 months to get through - so I needed something a bit more light weight and fun.
If anyone's interested, this is Cursed Luck, which is the first in a new series by one of my favourite authors, Kelley Armstrong. So nice to have a book that makes me to want to sit down and read, rather than find an excuse not to! I'm having a bad reading year. I've reduced my Goodreads target for the year from 70 to 50 and I'm going to struggle to get to that...
