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.

Mid-Term Show and Tell

Episode 14, in which we show and tell.

This video is just over ten minutes long. That's because everyone spends a minute or two showing a project and sharing a little about the materials and creative process. You'll see completed work made from the stuff you've watched us find and work with so far. Enjoy!
