Before my witch project of making my own portion, namely sensitizer, I just joined the others @deck_sg for some revision first.
Definitely fun and satisfying.
Instead of using paint brush to apply the sensitiser directly on the cardboard or cloth, we used eyedropper to put a few drops or a line of the solution on the surface and then spread it evenly with a decoupage sponge brush.
The texture of the exposed prints on paper towel are really lovely.
Drying the prints after developing them first in water bath and then dropping the print into a weak (a capful per liter of water) bath of hydrogen peroxide to accelerate the oxidisation which the prints would turn fully blue.
I’ve bound all the prints together in Japanese stab binding with a cloth pocket to hold the smaller loose pieces.
