Spent the day in the darkroom at the Arkansas Arts Center, so a print is what you get today.
This one is a copy transfer: a print is copied on an old copy machine (the kind that has lots of toner), then the copy is transfered to 140# hot-pressed watercolor paper by putting it face-down on the watercolor paper and rubbing lacquer thinner over the back of the copy until it's transferred. The final effect is cool, if you don't pass out from the thinner fumes. And don't forget the rubber gloves!
The original photo is of a statue from Mount Holly Cemetery, on Broadway in downtown Little Rock. You can see some more photos (not mine) of this historic cemetery here.
There will be NO entry tomorrow--class right after work, and I won't get back until really late. I don't want to hear any whining. (This means you, Mom!)
