Ben doing that for awhile.
No fancy equipment here.
Got the emulsion and mixed as per directions in the closet I have for a store
room. Let dry till next day--important to have no light. Brought out in black
plastic bag for student to rinse with short hose attached to my sink nozzle
with garden spray nozzle set to light spray. Kept rinsing till image came uo,
then till rinsed areas washed out clean and clear. I did the exposures from
prints on a digital camera then printed on a xerox machine onoverhead
transparencies. Exposed with contact on an old lightbox made from a
lightfixture with 2 fluorescent lightbulbs and covered with a piece of glass.
Got precise contact with a blanket of quilt batting and bricks from our
house. This sounds quite complicated, but really wasn't. Hard to imagine
without flicks as to process. I am the mother of invention (bag lady) if I
don't have the proper equipment.
All worked out well and kids loved it.
