Funny story. I was rinsing my watercolor palette and a small dried patch of Payne's Gray ink activated in the water as I swirled it around. Lightbulb moment - "what if I put a piece of watercolor paper over this? will it turn out"?  I saw the shape of continents below floating shapes - butterflies.
