Hi folks, it's been a while since I've posted to this list. I have kept up
with things through Judy's "newsletter" but have been otherwise silent as I
have been pursuing other things.
Anyway, I'm back working on a number of things and have a question for the list
- what are good papers and sources for Cyanotype and Van Dyke.
The reason I bring this question to the list is that in the past I have been
pretty much using whatever paper was available in the local art store (I
usually end up getting whatever Arches paper happens to be in the rack). I
have no problems with the results I am getting, but this is definitely not the
best way to go about things.
Returning to Judy's publication, I saw that Crane's Kid Finish appeared to be
an excellent choice for both of these processes. Not being able to find a
dealer with this paper, I went to Crane's website and sent them a message,
asking for a couple of dealers either in my area, online, or available via 800
number. Despite the "I've got money I want to give you, please tell me how to
do this" email, I never received a response from them, so I'm back to square
one.
So what do you folks like and where do you get your supplies? (Yes, I did
think about starting at the top of the list in the back of the magazine and
working my way down, but if people are using someone with great success, then I
am willing to additionally reward them.)
Cheers -
george
P.S. Please keep coming with the Sabatier and Mordancage messages - I am
learning much from them.
