[alt-photo] Re: ware cyanotype paper sensitivity now ARGYROTYPE

[Christina Anderson]

Oh no...but I will test it cuz I have some old argyrotype solution. Thanks for the heads up Sam.  Will also test the water thing!

I had a student last semester do a whole senior project with VDB on Tshirts, digital negatives, LARGE images and then hand colored them.  My favorite was a happy little fly on the front and then a fly swatter and smushed fly on the back, heheheh.

But boy did she struggle with greying out/fading.
