Faux jade...Or not

So the intent behind this was to make a faux jade tablet book - I figured I'd try mixing translucent green and leaf green (as well as a little night  glow).  Unfortunately, since it's my first time working with fimo, I over mixed it and instead have a perfectly uniform plasticy green.  It looked a little better after baking and giving it a gold wash to bring out the inscription, though unfortunately it's also highlighted a couple of fingerprints I hadn't sanded as much as I thought I had.  I should I'll have more of the mixed stuff so I may finish the second half in it anyway just so they match, but hopefully next time I can get it to work better.
