Ziatype contact print.
I love how it is easy to obtain astonishing results with this technique!!
Next step will be adding some gum...

(P.S. sorry for the bad scan... I find it's not easy to reproduce on screen the texture of cotton paper! Probably here I have enhanced it a little bit too much...)
Darryl simply beautiful, I really enjoy the tone and the texture. Great work.
Colin, as always, wonderful!
Very good, Marco! it could really glow with a bit of gum.
Scanning work on watercolor (or similar) paper is always tough. Photographing them with a digital camera may work a little better.

Nice work Marco, I think that Ziatype may have to be the next process I try down the road a bit.
Anupam - I like it, but I wonder if there's a bit more shadow detail in the print than in the scan?
Marco and Anupam...
What papers are these?
Here's a second argyrotype. Full disclosure: The scan is much darker than the print. I need to work on this one some more, but this is how I envision a final print.
Pinhole image taken with a Leonardo 3" 4x5 camera on Fuji Acros @ EI 50, 12 minute exposure. Developed in Pyrocat-HD 1:1:100 for 36 minutes. Printed on Cranes Cover paper in Bostick & Sullivan Argyrotype sensitizer, toned in KRST 1:100 for 1 minute.
Argyrotype on silk paper (yes, silk paper!!)
To get this 'muddy' look I put the paper into the stop bath for only a few seconds so it wouldn't be perfectly even and then just dip it into the fixer before washing it.
I also tried coloured silk paper but the colour dissolved into the water and the only thing that was I left with was a terrible tone and some ugly stains...
Colin I love that photograph.
