Transient, temporary, fleeting... (Coffee anthotype #2)

Coffee is very resistant to fading so there is little contrast between the exposed and unexposed areas. This isn't helped by the light "leaking" underneath the grass seeds making the image less distinct.

It reminds me of those fleeting glimpses you get at the corner of your eye when you are not sure what you've seen.

Light sensitive anthotype dye: coffee

Application: Layer substrate over coffee. Dry and repeat until all the coffee has been absorbed.
