    I’ve been exploring different drawing materials and solvents to develop new and refining existing less toxic techniques for stone lithography. I’m currently working with materials that are alcohol soluble, but I’m planning on experimenting with some other organic solvents that don’t have a petroleum base. Today I was finally able to achieve the range of tones I wanted on the stone, but now I am struggling with how to keep the image stable because the particular hydrophobic material I’m using is delicate and burns out in nitric acid and fills in after pulling just a few prints. There are a lot of variables to mess with ranging from ink modifiers, different rollers, and weaker acids. I’ll probably be reading a lot about esters, terpenes, terpenoids, polar solvents, and microfluidics during Thanksgiving break.
