Two-Colour Gum Over Cyanotype

[Andrew O'Neill]

I made a print from an image I shot in Japan, back in 2001. Originally shot on HP5 4x5 film. There is a bamboo forest near my old place in Japan, that I frequented...

Nice & thanks Andrew for sharing! Have you ever thought of coating the gum using your rod?

Thanks ced! Yes, I have thought about it but have not tried it. I have used a high density roller, and it worked well, but so much gum is sucked into the roller, and then washed down the drain. With the rod, there would have to be enough gum to make it through a pass, then excess wiped. Maybe I'll give it a go this weekend!

Beautiful, Andrew! Once again very inspiring. I might have to give gum another go one of these days. (I keep saying that don't I?)
