something useful for one.
i made a successful cyanotype done from a digitally produced negative today. i was super excited i was running around the school showing my friends. it was rewarding because i have been working on this for about a week now, and school days are starting to get really valuable and hard to come by, so there was some nerves about this being one more unfinished project going no where. but today there was a little sun between rain falls and it work! i got an image and it's beautiful..well, it's a start at lest. i was getting a second one ready to expose when the rain started up again but there is always tomorrow.

excellent! i love it! i can't believe how that was done, and it came out so well. i think you need to do a million more.

that is fabulous! I'd like to do some of these onto fabric as you can get fixable sunprint dyes

yes, as i understand it the chemicals i used in this print would fix to fabric nicely. have not tried it yet though.

it just cyanotype chemicals. they expose with sun light and develop and fix with simple water. you paint the chemicals on paper, fabric or any material that will hold it, and expose, and the wash in water.

here is a link: http://www.stonecreeksilk.co.uk/cyanotypes-process.shtml
