That's hot it looks like when it's stenciled. I always try to improve the design, I forgot to add some bridges to give it more stability…but still looks good.
It is hand cut. I am also using skinny caps for fine stencils.
...of putting the house back together.
Things are moving along slowly at the house, but they are moving.
EVERYTHING has been removed from the house to be cleaned, except for a few oversized pieces of bedroom furniture that would have had to go out a window and be lowered, in order to remove them from the house (the way they came in years ago.....we have very narrow butterfly steps...only small pieces of furniture can be carried up the stairs.)
Those pieces were cleaned on site. The inside of the house has now been "de-sooted"! .
Larry has a meeting on Monday with the carpenter, plumber and electrician and hopefully he'll find out when they can start the priming and painting .
I want these people to start doing their thing!!!
Meanwhile, Larry has decided there's no reason he can't put in the new kitchen ceiling.
This is one project I'm glad to get done.
If you remember, Larry replaced the ceiling not too long ago.
He put in the drop ceiling tile system.
You can choose from a large variety of tile patterns.
The first time around I saw a pattern that looked and was described as beadboard.
I thought it was exactly what I wanted for my farmhouse kitchen ceiling.
Unfortunately, sometimes things look different in person.
After Larry installed it, we were rather disappointed.
It didn't look AT ALL as I had imagined it would look. Instead of beadboard, it looked like the inside of a corrugated shipping container.
Larry even volunteered to just scrap the tiles and order new ones if I wanted.
In the end I decided to just live with it for awhile.
Time's up!
I'm liking my choice this time 100%!
It's not even done yet, but I am liking this ceiling 100% better!!
Just the first of about 100 projects Larry will probably be tackling these next couple of months.!
Took the original mono and thought, what if I use one of the colour presets in lightroom. I tried the colour creative cross process 4. MMMMM? Not sure.

YN560II @ 1/2 power/24mm bounced off white ceiling directly above
Trying a new process using used hypo-fixer. This should contain silver and I have been working many experiments to see if i can release that again for some type of VanDyke print. Adding it direct will result in fainter blue. Finally tried following:
- a few ml of used fixer
- add some Copper Sulfate (not much)
- wait till it has reacted (it will become brown or dark)
- add same volume of 25gr/100ml concentration Ferric ammonium citrate (same as used for Cyanotype.
Paint on paper or linen
- let dry for short time
Expose in UV or Sun (about same time as normal cyanotype.
- The paper will have before exposing almost white / light green color
- after 3 minutes it will turn yello
- after 10-50 minutes it will become coffee with milk color.
Contrast seems to have more gradations (see the middle grass halm)
Development:
- I rinsed it in water with a drop of vinager (pH of my water is 8 so i have to bring it down slightly)
- for this print i added some Potassium ferricyanide which changes the color from brown to mor blue especially on the borders.
- Dry the print as normal.

Agfa precisa ct100 slide film cross processed in Tetenal Colortec c41
These cross processed agfa slides looked very green, i scanned them as positives and let some of the green out to get back some colors. The edges from the negative holder turned pink, which I didn't crop because I kind of liked them.
