RE: Anthotypes

frozen blueberries and strawberries worked as well as flower (crimson
rose petals) juice for me... I ran out of time (summertime and no
teaching load last only so long) before trying grape juice and other
canned varieties, but I'd expect whatever stains would be a contender

Jane,
 
I totally agree about the permanence question. If flowers are not
permanent
why
should images made from them be any different? For what it is worth,
the
Anthotypes I have made in the spring of this year have not faded at
all so
far.
Please share your results with fruit emulsions. have not tried them so
far.

I haven't tried Anthotypes, but this dicussion has reminded me to...I
was
told by a friend who did an experimental workshop on this process that
fruit
dyes like raspberry, blackberry, beetroot, and red cabbage work well,
and
the dyes are less tiresome to collect than flower dyes. I am going out
to
get beetroot today and will run some tests. I also like the idea that
these
images are not so permanent...it seems somewhat liberating.
