Check out her blog Turtle Moon Impressions . Hema and Janis She offered me to come play with her Sun printing techniques. It was really wonderful and I am totally hooked. Thank you so much Janis . Here are couple of our Sun-printing in progress: Janis sun print in progress My sun print in progress     Our sun prints are drying in the clothesline.
