Today’s hint, which I can ignore, is ‘Force a change in your practice’. I can only think that the @artquestlondon robots are reading my Instagram posts and noted my wittering on about test strips yesterday! It probably is time for a change, but how do I force it or has it already been forced upon me? However, having spent days working on test strips, changing the curves on negatives and doing more test strips, I finally have something I’m almost happy with so the change will take place tomorrow.
Thus was made from the last sheet of Fabriano 50% cotton that I sensitised for the test strips I made yesterday as I’m very aware that the slightest change in any of the variables will result in a change in the final print. It was exposed at 4 1/2 minutes using my Everbeam 100 watt UV lamp. The Church spire is still not quite right but I was relatively happy with it until I spotted a major problem.
I hadn’t cut the watermark off the bottom of the paper before exposing the print. How frustrating!!! Sometimes it really is time for a change, but for now, this is my day 12 submission.
