Here's Liz, thinking about coming outside to see what's going on.

Liquid silver emulsion on 15x15 Rives BFK watercolor paper. I'll mat this to 16 inches square and put it into a black gallery style frame.

A note about the process:

Liquid silver emulsion is concocted from gelatin, silver nitrate, and a couple of other chemicals. It is warmed to the consistency of heavy cream, and then painted onto watercolor paper under a safelight. Once the paper is dry, it can be enlarged onto, just like a commercially made silver gelatin paper. Textures, brush marks, & flaws in the coating are the hallmarks of this beautiful process.
