'Web' Solar plate print with encaustic

'Web'
Solar plate print on mulberry paper collaged with encaustic
onto heavy card

I made this solar plate a few years ago by creating a negative on the computer, from a photogram of a cobweb in my garden onto which I had sprayed photographic fixer solution. I gently pressed the photo paper against the cobweb to transfer the little droplets of fixer solution to the paper then I processed it in the darkroom. 

After rediscovering the plate the other day, I decided to print it on mulberry paper, which is very thin.  The encaustic medium makes it quite transparent with a soft sheen - not really visible in this photograph.
