In short:
Made a mixture of Xanthan-Gum* with water and used it as layer like the wallpaper paste in paper marbling with acrylics. Dyed** the developer and the fixer, to see what I am doing and with a pipette or syringe (with needle) made lines of that two chemicals in that layer and with a tooth pick I go through to get the pattern.
*= the gum has to be resistant against alkaline pH from the developer
**=
a) Dye should not stain the gelatin layer of the photo paper
b) Dye should not react with developer or fixer chemistry
Tested:
Tatrazine in Dektol
Erioglaucine in Fixer (ROLLEI RXN Fix Neutral)
Lissamine Green in Mixture of Developer, Activator and Stabilizer
All three worked....New Coccine in Fixer (RXN) first red, than yellow ----> worked not....
This made the bird like white and black pattern.....
For the "landscapes":
-Thickened Stabilizer, Activator and Dektol with Xanthan-Gum (small amounts)
-Covered photo paper with a layer of Xanthan-Gum solution and
- used a brush with nylon fibers, because it has to be resistant against the developer for trying to paint......until I was more or less satisfied with the results....
- Fixer
- than wash and drying...
