Textures

love, love, love texture!

Finally got to put to the test a Golden gel medium sample kit I’ve had hanging around. I could easily get addicted to the textures, especially the pumice gel. Experimenting with different brands of crackle too. They all have different properties, go figure, it depends on what size “cracks” you want. Try not to fall into the crevices – sounds like a joke, but the lines formed by the crackle are just so interesting!

 

Cyanotype – Photographic Printing

Cyanotype – Photographic Printing

I have a long way to go with this process. Love it though. Especially since I can get some exercise and vitamin D while I collect flora a fauna to print – can’t think of a better way to spend some time outside. I used to do cyanotypes with my sons when they were in elementary school and was happily reintroduced to the amazing process with Jane Monteith. I haven’t even begun to really delve into the techniques, tips, and tricks  she has taught me. Looking forward to exploring more tinting techniques. Like using turmeric as the catalyst.  I printed some beautiful blues but not sure their vividness comes through in the photos. The Spring and Fall are perfect times for UV light and a nature walk with my dog Luna and cat Scout to collect leaves and flowers to print.
