[Alt-photo] Re: gum tip

[Loris Medici]

Nice tip Christina, good to know. OTOH it makes me nervous; I thought
hardened and dried gum was quite strong. Does this work with most pigment?

We are all students at different levels. There are times that one knows too
much; it can obstruct the way to creativity. Can't speak for all, but in my
case, I find students are usually more creative than the instructor... ;)

Good luck with FoO prints.

Regards,
Loris.
