arrived mid-morning, unpacked and set up work area. Been busy! since there was a storm last night I went treasure hunting on the shore to see what washed up. refer to pic. several turtles, too. I plan on trying to print them on a salt print and cyanotype which I plan on applying to canvas fabric. Similar to old sailcloth. I’ve set out a heavy aluminium cookie pan with saltwater to see how long it takes to evaporate and leave the salt. It is currently sitting out in the sun. Then I made the shower room into a dark room. Refer to pic. once that was completed, I applied cyanotype solution to the canvas fabric. It’s currently drying. I hope to print the smaller turtle on it later today if it dries. I collected more salt water, 1/2 pan and am slow boiling to extract the salt. Testing to see how much salt I get out of half a pan of salt water. refer to pic


So happy for your photography adventures!
