Cyanotype Prep


Episode 15, in which Cheryl prepares cyanotype solution.

I decided to use some of the objects I found to create sun prints, so I bought cyanotype chemistry from Bostick & Sullivan. You mix solution and you can apply it to just about any paper or fabric in order to sensitize it to ultraviolet light. After you expose it, you rinse the light-sensitive chemical off with water.

This video is part one, where I prep some watercolor paper for exposure. My next post will show the exposure process and end result. Stay tuned.
