Dad: 2nd exposure - developed overnight

I love the subtle pattern in the background I think that's cracked it but I'm not happy with the gilding. Using Mica I'd problematic from an ethical/ecological viewpoint. Although this is ethically sourced it's tricky to produce anything without using physical resources. 

I have some old gold green paint i could use instead and I can use the by product paint from the cyanotype process. 

In producing paper, I recycle and repurpose but this is tricky when considering the sturdiness required for the washing process. 

I am looking into using things like beetroot for a pink tone etc and other anthrotype techniques.. its an experimental process. 

In regards to more illustrative work, I collage physically and digitally. The aim for this work was always to introduce using Unity to create a library of digital models and materials. I have begun the archive process and I feel like im getting there. 

As I have 4 pieces I can experiment with, I'll find a production process I can work with. This will help produce the 'lines of desire' collection, and then the 'So, she thought' series.
