found this link on the makezine blog, looks pretty cool.. has anyone tried this before?
 
I have tried a similar concept. What I tried to do was change the coloring of leaves and grass by placing negatives over said vegetation. I do have a jar of liquid light in the fridge that is for this typeof application that you have pointed out, but I ave not tried it yet. Too busy painting.
 
what's that "liquid light"?
Check out this gallery of Binh Danh. I've seen the leaves themselves at the exhibition. Very interesting stuff. I will try it once myself.
 
O.K., my interest is piqued! Now, how to fix the image....
So does it have to be a geranium leaf? How about a rhubarb leaf? A large palm frond?
 
Liquid emulsion is pretty awesome, Liquid light ha been around for a while, and wuld be weel worth the money.

I have not used that brand but used to make luqified emulsions to print stuff on dishes way back when (it was a relatively easy process), We bought from an Agfa plant from uruguay (thorugh a reseller in my honetown)

I think MACO has a liquid emulsion as well.
 
I have seen that before. I intend to try it soon.

I have made anthotypes: see here

The "other method", see the link I gave above, apparently does not need any chemical fixing (but it takes much longer to produce the image).
