That's a beauty. Love the contrast. Looks like the ice has melted, eh?
Most of it has - there's still six inches on the pool (except for the bit you jump in to from the sauna).

Poor Blue (the dog) his solitary life is about to be devastated by a 7 week old Bergère des Pyrénées puppy on Thursday (our lives as well!).

all the best

Jono, I meant the Pyrénées. I'm sure we will be treated to some wonderful puppy shots soon. He/she is certainly cute.

i'm now going to throw myself into finding out about doing
Silver gelatin on Glass....tres Artful approach

Helen, if you are thinking of printing B&W on emulsion fixed to glass, I have explored doing that about 15-years ago. Somehow, at that time, I got this idea I needed to be making my own (liquid) emulsions -- but that's another story. :D

Anyway, to get emulsion to adhere to glass is not easy, requires the glass to have a 'tooth'. Even then it is fragile. On photo paper the emulsion works in and around the fibers, is more durable. Some absolutely exquisite photo printing on glass was done by an engineer in Seattle, forget his name. :mad: A lot of glass foundries in that area. He molded/poured his own glass, made his own emulsion, and printed (exposed/dev'd) on these very heavy glass blocks/sculptures. They were back lit. He molded recesses in the glass for the areas to be printed on. This created a wonderful dynamic but also protected the fragile emulsion. In a nutshell, you need to do something akin to sand blasting the area of glass you want the emulsion to stick to, and then have some way of protecting the print. Not sure but I can see humidity being a possible issue, too.

You can achieve similar result by printing on resin sheets (make yourself). Since resin is softer than glass you can sand it yourself to get the tooth necessary for the emulsion to adhere.

Gosh, I hope I didn't misunderstand what you meant by "printing on glass". :D
