I shared cyanotype with my fellow students during studio time today. Dale, Richard and Joe Willie made sun prints with me. I'll post photos of the good ones later.

Cyanotype Sun Prints

Episode 16, in which Cheryl makes prints from found objects.

After sensitizing my paper yesterday, I spent a few hours making prints from some of the materials I gathered. I hope you enjoy seeing the process come to fruition.

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.
