Well, when first applied, it feels a bit like jelly, which dries up to leave the wonderful motifs on the applied parts. Once dried, you can wash off the top portions so that just the imprint remains.
Thanks Mary.

This is a marvelous composition. I is well deserging of hte Award. I thought that it was a paint kind of substance. However, this appears to have a raised nature. Does it feel smooth or can one feel the design?

Hand shots. I love them. It is a challenge to get good handshots. Well my friend you have proved that you know how to do it. Impressive artwork on the hands. Such great clearity makes it more fantastic. Excellent use of DOF, the face of the lady ( I believe from India) looks very good and makes it to an eyecatcher.
