Rev. Tucker,
The project I have in mind will be more forgiving, I think, than a conventional
b/w silver print-looking art print. I plan to use a cream Rives or similar
stock.  I saw some real Van Dykes on water color paper recently that I think
I can match in print quality using just one color. The full tinted set might
be even better. If that works I'll try to match Cyanotype. Trouble, trouble,
boil and bubble...
