We acquired a lot of broken pieces of Hokie Stone laying around from all the construction. We had lots of ideas of things to do with it in our apartment, but we'd get drunk too early on the weekends we could do anything with it to use power tools.
Salt printing is an old process technique whereby paper is treated with a solution of salt and silver nitrate and then subjected to outdoor exposure (sunlight). The resulting salt process âsun pictureâ is characteristic for its matt appearance, and reddish brown colouring.
A planographic print is one whose image is printed off a flat surface from a design drawn on a stone or plate using a grease crayon or with a greasy ink. In this type of print the printing ink is absorbed by the greasy design on the stone and is transferred to the paper under light pressure. Plate: A {metal} plate is a flat sheet of metal, usually copper, steel or zinc, used as a matrix for a print. Metal plates are used for intaglio prints and for some lithographs.
