Today's Output

Sorry about the cardboard; this is just a documentary shot of today's cyanotype experiments. I'm a happy camper. Such fun to see them come to life in a pan of water! :)

[Spanner]

These are excellent - I am not having much luck with my cyanotypes - I think I am rushing them. These are inspirational.

[Julie Duncan]

@spanner Thank you! I’m not sure I’ve got the timing down 100%. Some of them seem a bit dark. Fun learning times ahead! 🙂

@juliedduncan What paper weight are you using?

[Julie Duncan]

@spanner It's just a cheap watercolor pad. It says "heavyweight/acid free." Any recommendations? I was also considering getting this book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1138338834/?coliid=I4LPA4LH5DFVW&colid=SPNVUOYQYEW3&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[Spanner]

@juliedduncan Thanks - I have just used some cheap watercolour pad paper but prefer less textured paper. It has also been very overcast here today so my exposures have been 20+ minutes. I think there is a lot of info online however the book looks really detailed and has good reviews. I have considered it.

[Julie Duncan]

@spanner Thanks! I wonder how fingerpainting paper would work for this? Just a thought. :)

That garlic plant on the left hand is awesome. But, again: they all are.

[Julie Duncan]

@monikozi Thanks so much! I like how that one got scratched up a little bit somehow. ;)
