the opposite of instant gratification



Today I will budget in time to document the two anthotypes which I pulled from the window yesterday evening. For the record, the mulberry on Utrecht drawing paper was exposed for 27 days, just shy of four weeks. The iris pigment print (yes, it sounds like a confusing mixture of Iris print and archival pigment print) took 19 days.

In the meantime, I arranged the pajama bottoms on heavy weight watercolor paper coated with the Black-Eyed Susan emulsion. The yellow represents three coats of the flower emulsion (air dried between coats) on two separate sheets. First day of exposure is today as Boston gets ready to crack 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
