daffodil lumen
by Holly Morris
This is a photo I took of one of my lumens while it was still "developing", sitting out side in the sun.
The process is as such: take an organic object (flower, in this case) and place it on light sensitive photo paper. Clamp it between glass and cardboard so it doesn't get disturbed and place it outside in full sun. (Doing this in the summer is best, but it can be done in the winter as the sun is not as hot.) After 12 hrs or so, take it inside and fix it. DO NOT develop or put it in stop bath. Every lumen will be different...
