I used up nearly a whole roll of film only to realize afterwards that the film I had put in the camera weeks before and forgotten about was Fuji Neopan, black and white, and not colour (I can't tell what type of film is in the camera once it's shut). Ghost peonies.

Jane Flanagan, DEADWEIGHT, Rachel Anastasia, coldrooms, m.fay, sew nancy, Florence, Tracey, Sweet Harvest Moon, Julia: Thank you for the comments. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Camille: That's so cute! English is my main language, and I still had a lot of misunderstood lyrics. I didn't know what "hobnail boots" were until I came across them in a Beatles song!
michelle: Thank you! I really like my little sequined clutch.
rachael: Yes!
Anonymous: The counting is very, very quiet! You can only hear it on headphones. George Martin was the Beatles' producer, a very talented man!
Ringo, have a banana!: My parents didn't listen to the Beatles, so when I discovered them, it was really almost life-altering. Is that exaggeration? Probably not!
hila: Glad you like it. I struggle to find things that I think are truly, truly original in this funny little world and I think these zines are so unique and incredible. I really admire LJ & Liz for just doing it.
Apricots+Silk: Oh yes, enjoy these years! So important.
Copper&Whim: So sweet of you to say, thank you.
Serena: Thank you!
these are so beautiful! i'm so glad you had black and white film in :)
