When good craft goes bad

I was trying to speed the process of paint drying. I was trying to finish items for the Chocolate Crow Trader which need to be in by the close of today. I was clearly expecting too much of my time and resources.
I burnt 2 of the 3 crows I was making. I covered my laundry and my hands with black paint. I filled my house with the toxic smell of burning paint. I learned it is not the best idea to use the microwave to dry paint!
