Did you tone this to give the brown color, or is this characteristic of the process you use?
Darwin, these cards were not toned, I made some trials with Nelson's gold toner, but the result was not convincing me, so there is the pure silver image at the cards. But no card was as the other, every card was a surprise, tones from very dark brown to a light yellowish brown came out and a lot of them failed from to much emulsion. As I wrote earlier, I learned a lot doing this process

I've recieved a little over 20 cards now and would like to thank all those who have sent me a card. Having printed 25 cards at the weekend I am now well aware of the effort you have all put into producing them. I'll get the rest printed this week or the coming weekend at the latest.

All the cards I've recieved are great. A couple of personal favourites are rwyoung's Hobo Duckies, I've been a fan of your pinhole ducks and other toys in the gallery so it's great to get an 'original'. PVia's Contrabassist is such a wonderfully relaxing image, I've no idea why. And Anke Drewitz's 'Lime Blossom' salt print is a fantastic piece of art and a fascinating process.

So thanks again to everyone.

Crispin

Post cards come in bunches, every couple of days. Nice.
Two more to report.
Black Dog with a German bunker in Normandy. Well balanced print. Nice tonality. Would have been nice to know what materials did you use to create it.
erikg What a nasty flat. And how appropriate, and of the road with Hillary . Cute.

Two more received today, for a total of 13: Erik's car (never got the significance of Hillary - that's funny) and Rob Skeoch's waterfall. Erik's has a large stamp on it saying, "POSTCARD - do not attempt to open". Did Erik put that there or did the Post Office? Has anyone ever attempted to open a postcard? Struck me as funny in any case.

Default 1st report

I’ve received 8 cards so far, and every one is very interesting, and greatly appreciated.

They include:

david b - his flea market icons - an intriguing set of images - very nicely printed - a square format image that isn’t compromised to fit

Mark Fisher - a square image, on a square card - what a great idea - very nice textures, although I’m afraid the post office decided to add its own white gouge as well

Buster6x6 - another square image (I sense a theme) - these tools just seem to want to leap off the surface of the print

rst - I’m really lucky, because this is the third image I’ve received this month from Rüdiger, because he is in my group in the Group Print Exchange. This shot of bicycles in Paris looks like I imagine Paris to be (I’ve never been there), although one could imagine that this shot was taken early in the last century, rather than early in this century. The print is wonderfully atmospheric

sly - a beautiful print entitled “Snow Drops” - almost a contact print I would say - it glows! (I too like the Karsh stamp)

wazza - an interesting almost abstract image that has fascinating curves and shapes and tones. If I didn’t see the title “Big Top”, I probably wouldn’t have figured it out. This is another square format image - the trend continues

mooseontheloose - an almost haunted looking Irish scene where the rocks glow. What a nice use of HIE, and a great print too

drpsilver - a wonderfully moody still life with muted tones, and a texture that almost yells “old”. And another square format!

These are all great - now I’ve got to get mine done.

Do you think I should print something square ?

Matt

In the meantime I received five more cards. Thanks to Erik for "End of the road..." I like it, it is kind of funny. Also funny is the postcard stamp you put on the back. Then I got a waterfall from Rob. Very nice but somehow Canada post decided to stamp it on the front instead of the back. Maybe they wanted to spare Sir Winston Churchill. And I got another "There is only the drama of the objects and you, watching" card from Jake. Hey, I like it a lot and it is very well printed. Wow, then there is Terrys full of details haystacker card. Very nice. And Ritchie sent Baboons for the kids. Well done.

The more cards arrive the more this turns out to be the best round I ever participated in. I received 23 cards so far, so there are still 27 to come.

Thanks to all of you

Well, at least you are still lucky, ask Mike who was now for the second time my Group Print Exchange mate and we also shared the same group in the Lith Print Exchange. He must be really bored of me. And thank you for the kind comments on my card. I think this is a woderfully atmospheric place. At least in the early morning.

ciao
