tulip in oil, water, ink and alcohol

I'm disappointed in the results of my experiment this morning though I don't regret trying it. I decided to drop some alcohol ink and alcohol in my oil and water mixture. The colors feel muddy and the ink left weird crusty sections in the oil. This is the dried tulip from my earlier images this year. I was able to use it one more time though I still might try to save it. Do you embrace your mistakes as learning experiences? It has taken time for me to accept this idea and I still struggle with it but life is short, so learn and move on.
