I’m liking the black glass for wet-plate, but my source has glass thick enough that I’m going to have to see if I can make it work.  Blue’s pose here is lovely, though, and goes so well with wet-plate!

For all you trying wet-plate out there - just to show that sometimes things just don’t go right.  For some reason the darkslide was pressing against the plate and marred the collodion on what is otherwise a lovely photograph of Rebecca.  After two tries like this, I switched to my backup plate holder and the issue went away.  So hang in there - there’s a lot of troubleshooting, but wet-plate is worth it!
