I've always loved doing cyanotypes. I have a step-by-step tutorial I did a year ago or so on my blog:

I actually did this with Stuart Bazerman another forum member. He's a fun guy to have around!

playing around with a new paper, a Japanese Kozo (lightweight mullberry paper).. as thin as rice paper, only stronger. The results are a very delicate, translucent print that takes on the 'tone' of whatever it's mounted on.

Here's the first try on the paper... i think it'll need double coating, since the paper soaks it up like a sponge

Wow Jim that is a fabulous process.

I came on here today to ask about a copper metallic printing my Art Rep asked for and I see this. This could be more of what I am looking for. This process is almost exactly what I am looking for.

Now my problem is where could I get something like that done and at what cost?

I have all my darkroom left, collecting dust, in my basement. But I have no chemicals or paper left. It is all gone. I also have no large inkjet printers left. They are all worn out and I threw 6 Epson's away a few months ago.
I also do not think I could pull a process off like this today if I had everything I needed here so I should hire this out.

Thanks for all this great work in this post and special thanks to anyone who could direct me in the direction I should look.

Beautiful image Jim. I imagine the print is even more so. Will you be offering this print for sale in the Gallery Members Print F/S section?

hmm. i'm not sure what happened with the image link (it was to one of my images in the gallery.

I have offered prints of this up for sale at

http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/galle...nflowers-i-platinum-palladium-print-sale.html

Each print is hand coated, and processed. It's hard to convey the feel of a platinum print on the web.. but there's good reason that it's considered one of the most beautiful processes

the final print, mounted & matted will look like (with slight variations in tone and contrast, since it is a one print at a time process)

Are you interested in taking work at all Jim?
I'd be more comfortable taking it after the beginning of the year.. I have surgery (spinal fusion) at the beginning of November, and that will immobilize me for at least a month.

I'm definitely interested in printing your work.. I love they way your series looks in platinum
