Re: acorns(!)
Keith, that's breathtaking! Like it so much, can't wait to see other prints with more gum layers... I also absolutely love the cracks -> it looks like plaster indeed. Meanwhile I just coated a sheet of aluminum with 1 part acrylic gesso + 1 part calcium carbonate powder + 1/2 part water mixture (gesso+water -> 2+1). Will sand it tomorrow a little bit (to lessen the brush marks caused by using thick gesso) and try to print on it. The surface is pretty far from being slick (like gesso w/o additives) after adding that much calcium carbonate. Looks like gum may cling onto it - will see...
