Re: peeling off emulsion and more. . .



Hi --

New to the list, been lurking for about 2-3 weeks. . .

I am interested in something similar to the attached question.  I've 
recently begun printing my SX-70 manipulations on watercolor and charcoal 
paper and then enhancing some of the colors with watercolor and/or pastel.  
I'm also considering printing some of them in b&w and just handcoloring the 
entire thing with "different" colors -- flourescents, brights, etc.

If anyone else out there is doing this, I'd be very interested in your 
experience and what you've found has worked or not worked.  I'd be esp 
interested in any comments on adding color to the original manipulation vs. 
coloring the print and what types of pastel (oil vs. soft) you find to be 
best (if there is such a thing!) for this method of coloring.

I am also starting to look into various presentations of my work -- various 
sizes, matting, etc.  Advice?

FINALLY -- I have a decent printer and a workable scanner. . .but I will 
upgrade soon.  This is a hobby for me, although I will probably try to 
market some this summer, so I am looking for middle line equipment.  
Suggestions would be great.  I've done my own research on CNET, but more 
info is always better (my day job is a researcher!).

Thanks and apologies for the loooong post.  Like I said, I am pretty new to 
all this and I have LOTS of questions.

Patty
