Finished my second mini brief off last week. Very upset that the photographic studios were closed because a member of staff was off sick, so I had to shoot it at home on a dummy. Never mind. The idea was to see what I could do with the cabbage. If was interesting scanning ( if a little obvious ). Great fun working with it in the darkroom. Don't think I have ever known anyone try vegetable printing with photographic chemicals ... both original and fun. Finally I tried making a garment with the leaves. It was quite heavy and when moist, was easy to tear. As the vegetable dried out it got lighter in weight and tougher. I thought it was effective as a fabric. Can picture it as a studio shoot - once when fresh and then reshot every week until it was dried and rotten: I think this would have gone from latex / rubbery to dried leathery / paper.
