adding paper first then crystals to see if this made a difference in how bold the colours/pattern came through.
wetting the paper, then adding the crystals after the paper is lifted out of the tray.
changing colours- though purples are the colours neoplasm appear under the microscope, i have decided to experiment with useing greens, yellows and blues.
- 'Radium chloride is a colorless-white salt with a blue-green luminescence, especially when heated.'
i thought this would hold a stronger connection to Marie Curie .
adding crystals to dry paper and using a syringe to add the water.
this technique looks more promising and it allowed me control where there is a explosion of colour and where colour needs to be merged. this technique also allows me to work 'cell' shapes into the piece, which are separated by the white of the paper.
however one downfall with using the syringe is that i couldn't control the amount of water i released, this meant that if i put down to much water, the crystals turned straight to a coloured water and did not maintain any of there crystal like structure (bold circle dots) which is what i wanted to keep as it holds a similar resemblance to that of the microscope pictures.
using water spray. i tired out using a water spray to limit the amount of water i add to the crystals.
this made it easier to add water to direct places and also retrained the vividness of the crystal colour.
