That's using the 'blue' method.

Here are the two best images using the 'lush method'.

Even though I quite like these, they don't really fit with my 'hands' idea. I've started thinking about why I want to depict hands and it really is about the intimacy of hands and how we connect through them. Also, they are super-familiar parts of my loved ones' bodies that I can easily recognise and we can achieve so much with them so I would like to celebrate them

Final remediation ideas:

I thought about printing my final images on leather to simulate skin but now that I have thought through the cost and time factors (I would need to use Liquid Light which I have to order from the states at $100 a bottle and I am not sure it will turn up on time) and think I will project onto my body (or my husband's) and photograph that instead.

Precedent One: Here is a really good precedent that Linda helped me find yesterday. It is by Lucas Samaras. I am interested in the idea of photographing tattoos at the moment.Also in the whole process of remediation, so this could be an interesting way of expressing what motivates people to tattoo themselves. For it was a way of holding something deeply personal close to myself for the rest of my life. I have mine on my left shoulder and it represents me literally carrying the weight of my decision there. I want to show my family members being projected onto me and my husband.

Precedent two: The other idea Leon has got me thinking about is e-ink. Wacky concept for me to get my head aroudn but basically it's a way to show images on you skin that you can change (by choice), you could potentially even receive signals from a third party such as a TV station and watch stuff happening on your forearm!

Mock-up ideas are abounding right now....
