Re: gum prints on Yupo
Actually, that was Loris who provided that link; I hadn't seen that
particular page either.
Unfortunately, same as before, I can access your picasaweb page but
don't get a picture, and can't bring up the slide show or anything.
Boo hoo.
I had been thinking it was Loris who had perfected printing gum on
yupo, but maybe it was you, Marek.

Katharine,
Thanks for point out this link (or was it Loris in the original
post). I never made it that far and it made for a very interesting
reading.

One thing that Bruce MacEvoy mentions is yupo for one of the
experiments and explains why watercolors look very luminous on that
substrate. It totally agrees with my observations and has reignited
my desire to experiment some more with yupo. I have some nice
prints and they just glow. Main problem with it is that gum does
not stick to it and it seems to be unpredictable in the way it
peels off and flakes. Sometimes patches will come off, sometimes
just spots.
Here are some prints
