Spent yesterday making cyanotypes on the curb of the World Friendship Center in the full sun, reading volume 9 of Barefoot Gen (only one more to go)....Here are some of the results. This is a copper crane:
Bundle of paper cranes from the World Friendship Center, a bell, a braid, a person in costume...
Some sort of cage from the gardening shed of the WFC, Merei and I think it looks like a house, open and not open, closed and not closed, a cage and not a cage...
