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 emulsions that allow you to "paint" light sensitive emulsions onto many different objects so you can make prints out of them.

I've always wondered how well it worked...

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

A block of Lucite?

That's a thought. I wonder if the image would fade anyway?

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).
