Bamboo

I have decided to include bamboo as well as it fits into my project well.

I created these by placing a bamboo leaf in the enlarger. I then placed another leaf on the paper so that there would be negative space in the shape of the other leaf. I then exposed the paper for 5 seconds and then placed the leaf on for another 6 seconds so that there would be faint markings where the leaf was. I think this has turned out really successful and I am considering using this as the reverse of the Carte-De-Visite.
