wow!....(!!) this is really awesome! i really love the darkest region near the bottom left corner, and the combination of color with black and white done in the darkroom is both impressive and effective! i also really like the borders of the painted-on developer. that section in the lower center where the leaf is in black and white with the background as cyanotype really stands out as an area of interest. great work; this is definitely a favorite, without question!

thanks! there's actually no black or white in this, it's the light-sensative chemicals that are painted on regular paper and they turn blue and brown in the developer..

oh okay, that's cool. so was it liquid light you used for each, developed separately?

no, it's a cyanotype under a van dyke brown print...both are chemicals that print when exposed to UV light so it's sort of similiar to a photogram(and kind of similiar to liquid light in the way you paint the light sensative substance on the surface) I did the cyanotype first and then overlayed the brown right on top, so the same print went through the developer twice.
