Some really good staining on many of the specimens, do you have a timing in place for certain stains or is it trial and error? What is your methodology as I use a few different protocols when staining my botanical specimens. I found maybe one or two of your photos rather dark with what I would call over stained , but that is my personal preference. Staining is an art in its self. I would be pleased with the turnout you have produced, well done its pleasing to the eye when staining is done correctly which in my mind you have achieved. We can all become good with practice. Nice one.
Thank you :shock:
Best regards
