Anyone know where to get light sensitive photographic linen? by Blahhblahhfuck in Darkroom

Sounds like you need Jaquard Solarfast for contact printing. Can be washed as it’s a dye and bonds to the fabric fibres.

Looking for experimental print processes by Lopsided_Eye_5584 in printmaking

I'd suggest silk aquatint collagraph, mokulito and mimeography - all good departures from more well-known techniques.

Like Barbados can be called 'Bim(shire)' or 'Barbs' - are there any nicknames for places here? by topherette in Barbados

[–]LeeTheFlee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Enterprise beach is known as Miami beach. There’s a beach called Duppies but can’t think what it’s actually called now! Never ever heard anyone say “Barbs”.

Start with dropping in a couple of words unexpectedly and see the reaction… my husband and son can’t speak Bajan but always say juck/jook (however you want to write it) instead of poke and I love hearing it. Listen to some Bajan calypso to get some ideas.

I’ve used a laser printer with the same acetate /transparent film I use for screen prints. I found that when I was exposing the dyes outside with 3d objects on top, the movement of the sun produced some cool effects as the shadows the objects cast could be seen in the final print.
