Back in the 70's, a professional photographer friend used to supplement
his income by coating "river rocks" or "beach stones" (stones worn
smooth from water and/or sand action) with a photosensitive emulsion
and printing line drawings (made on Kodalith from full-scale originals)
on them, then selling them as bookends, paperweights, or just
ornaments. We're no longer in contact, and I never asked him where he
got the emulsion. I know it was a commercially-prepared product that
came in a glass jar inside a lightproof cardboard container, but that's
it. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks

There are a couple of brands of prepared emulsion on the market. One is
made by Rockland Colloid http://www.rockaloid.com/
Another brand is sold by J&C Photo. There are also a couple of books which
describeusing emulsion. One is Silver Gelatin: A User's Guide to Liquid
Photographic Emulsions
Martin Reed, Sarah Jones There is an interesting article on the same site as
the book: http://www.alternativephotography.com/process_dryplate.html
