Mark,

I am truly amazed and delighted. I'm about to run a set of POP prints and
just might give it a whirl. . . or a stir, I guess it would be.

So, what do you think-Earl Grey, or Lipton? --or maybe Luzianne? (Luzianne
doesn't get cloudy, you know.)

Seriously, I can grock the staining quality of dark teas (having offended
more than my share of fine linen at social events)-but what are the metallic
processes involved, if any? Now that I think about it, ferric oxides might
not be that far removed from the properties of tea. . . right?

Anybody have any clues? Or formulas? Or references?

And if tea, what else might be useful?

Greeting the new dawn of Primitive Processes,
--JWC

Yes, look at the work by Tom Baril.... he was the printer for
Mapplethorpe..... a lot of his work is toned in tea.... his botanicals are
beautiful....

I'm not sure if he uses bags or loose tea.... hehehhee

I just stumbled across an image by Sally Mann ( the link is here

<http://www.artmag.com/galeries/c_frs/greve/mann.html> ) which is toned with

tea.

Tea?

Anybody know anything about this? . . . .or care to make up something

convincing?

Hasta,
