Wonderful! I agree with Steve and think "you nailed it".

No, it's just a roughly 9x11" sheet of thin paper, freely floating… I have had a tear or two at the edges, happens usually in the very end, after washing, when trying to lift it out of the water to place it on a drying screen… I should maybe experiment with a sheet of glass slipped under it…

Instead of glass, I use a sheet of material I bought at a fabrics store. I don't remember what its intended purpose was - something such as needlepoint I think. It is flexible plastic and has holes in it. It looks something like window screen only heavier and the holes are larger. When using delicate papers, I put it in the first tray and then transfer it and the paper tray to tray. It works well.

Yet more from my garden… Platinum print on Kozo paper.

With the added bonus of a link to an interview with me - alas in Italian only, but the internet has tools to aid!

More info and larger image, as usual, over at Flickr.

Sometimes it is difficult to decide what thread to put an image.... this case the portrait or this thread...

But as this is "my" thread I'll do it here:

Just made a rather big portrait of my late father. (approx 20x28").
I chose to make it as a "messy" bromoil version.

He was a priest - and knighted by our Queen. He was so peoud of that order, so that's my reason to portray him like this.
Looking stern - wasn't... rather distant.
