RE: My papyrus adventures

Loris,

Thanks for the input. It's difficult to see on the scan of the print, but
there is actually quite a bit of detail, which is why I initially planned
to use palladium.

I have considered other processes like VDB, but haven't tried them yet as
I only have pt/pd chemistry right now. I'm not that interested in cyano
(although toned cyano may look really nice...I may retract that
statement), as I really love the warm tones of the palladium on the
papyrus.

If/when I try VDB on the papyrus, I'll let you know.
