I got into gum bichromate prints a few months ago after wanting to find a way to turn my digital photos into physical prints. I could use a printer, which I do and did, but who doesn't want to do what feels like witchcraft and create a physical print by exposing a sheet of watercolor paper with some stuff on it to the sun?

My first attempt at a turmeric anthotype. I washed it in baking soda to get the rusty red color. It's fadded pretty badly even in my house so I think that I need keep experimenting but it was a great start! I got the line art by drawing on acetate with a technical pen based on a sketch from my sketch book.
