Lifting fingerprints




These lifted fingerprints were done by the use of powder. There were two types of powder that was used. For the prints done on the black sheet crushed chalk was used. A fingerprint was placed on a dark surface and then the chalk was applied to the fingerprint with a brush. Then the tape was taped to the black sheet. For the print done on the white sheet crushed charcoal was used. A fingerprint was placed on glass and then charcoal was applied with a brush. Then taped was applied to the glass to get the the print then taped down on the white sheet of paper. This process was difficult to complete because the powder sometimes wouldn't stick and it was hard to get the print.
