showing stages of the process; Layering images on sheets of acetate

The top image is a blend of the five images below it, representing five stages of the process used during the charcoal making process: pallets, fire, tin, charcoal dust, and application. 

Using image manipulation in Photoshop to create layers within three of the images (pallets, fire, and tin) to create a pattern-like form. These five images will be printed onto transparent A4 sheets and will be propped up vertically a stand. When looked at/ through, the image seen should be a blend of all the processes and maybe resemble something like the top image we see here. 

I used the colour range selection tool to delete parts of each image, as well as decreasing the opacities to help see through each image onto the next. I also saved each image as a PNG file with a transparent background to ensure transparency when printed.
