Thank you. I am not alone. ;) :P
But seriously, thanks for sharing your experiment and experience with us. I
think the gum print looks very lovely and has a beautiful glow!

One side is darker, but after a while you can feel it. Next time take some
time rubbing both sides of it with your fingers, and you can feel that the
base side feels a little sticky.

Again, I think it is very nice. Much much nicer than my first gum. Probably
the cyanotyped helped bring out the tonality.

So nice, humble, and honest sharing. Many others would have said that this is
exactly the way they want the print to look like. :)
