RE: "speckling" v "staining " (was New Orleans/glut) SEE SCANS

Katherine,

So here I was, I couldn't see Mark's scan of Chris's speckles because
the library wasn't open today, but I was sizing paper and I thought
a-ha! If I've got a piece of BFK around, I can make the speckles myself
and see with my own eyes what they look like. So I rummaged around in my
scrap drawer and found a piece of BFK, sized it with gelatin and
glyoxal, put it out in the wind to dry, and tonight I cut it into four
pieces and printed four prints on it. I used an especially heavily
pigmented mix in blue-black to give it a head start toward staining, if
that's what it wanted to do.

Cutting to the chase, I'll send you a print and you can see first hand about
what Chris has been talking about.

E-mail me your snail mail address and I'll mail you a print.
