I can be added to the gummer practitioner list. I've only been doing it for
6 months, and that's when I joined this list. I am experimenting with paper
and quantities of pigment/gum right now. Thanks to you all for your
rambling, in which I can pick up tidbits of info and start looking in to it
myself. I love gum threads because it is the only alternative process I
use, except for my pinhole, but that's another list. And I did take a Wet
Plate Negative/Ambrotype/Tintype class, but I decided now is not the time to
get in to a very difficult process. The other threads are teasing me and
making me want to expand my alt knowledge. But since I am obsessed with
figuring out gum right now, I don't have the time for more experimentation.
There aren't enough weekends in the year to do any more.
To join in the poll:
I only use pot di, because that is what I was taught to use. And I remember
the instructor saying some reason why am di is bad or hard to use or
something, so it never entered my mind to consider it. That's what happens
when you are taught one way, you think it is the only way.
I've never cleared any prints. I didn't even know that was done until I
read this thread. I would have to say I see no pot di stain in the one I've
printed, but I'll have to go home and take a look.
Oh and one Question of my own: Does sizing do anything other than keep the
paper from expanding and contracting during the multiple printings, so you
can keep the negative registered properly? Or does it do something else?
Later
Lisa
