Photograms and Chemigrams

Photograms and chemigrams that have been produced in a dark room by exposing light on to light sensitive paper then puting into developer to reveal the image and fixer to fix the image so that light will no longer adjust the appearance of the photogram.
To get a perfect image I photocopied a page from a magazine on to acetate then put the acetate over the paper when exposing it to the light.
To get these I put small natural froms like twigs and small leaves into tape then put the tape into an enlrger which englarger the image on to my paper when light was exposed to it, creating the effects above.
The images above are chemigrams, created by wiping fixer on to the paper first to set the light colours of the paper like the whites and yellows, then putting developer on to the paper to develop the places where the fixer is not, this is how the darker colours are produced.
