RE: Artistico Unsized?
Oh, I see! I was referring to Mowiol, the name! That was the first time I heard about it. I asked about it, then Henk said that it was PVA, then all those old discussions came to mind; but I think it would still be worth trying Mowiol or other brand to make the practical emulsion, and perhaps some experiments to make it more adaptable to different situations. Some people might be interested. If Mowiol is widely available, I might start with that brand; or I might start with some others. But Mowiol, Mowiol. What a name! I have some difficulty pronouncing it. :) Dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Katharine Thayer [mailto:kthayer@pacifier.com] > Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 11:50 PM > To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca > Subject: Re: Artistico Unsized? > > > On Aug 25, 2007, at 6:37 AM, Dave Soemarko wrote: > > > First time I heard of it.
