The Cyanotype Project
My my... A pussy fight is about to break out. Ma cat Azu and Ma woman Emily.. L<3ve
This is a large scale negative I created using litho film. its dimension roughly measure out to about 8x11 inches.
Today we introduce my project covering cyanotypes. The cyanotype process dates back to 1842 by a sir John Herschel. The process results in blue prints. Cyan.
The process I am working uses cyanide and some other chemical mixed together as a solution. You take that solution and then coat a piece of material with it then dry it and its ready. You can create an image on the paper by casting a shadow upon the solution coated side of the paper. Use sunlight or a something with with the same amount of light intensity the sun provides until the image that the shadow casts is burned into the solution. Usually this would result with the solution going from yellow to a grey color, then you know it is done. Take that paper and wash it under running water being careful making sure that water slides from side to side off the paper. Never let the water concentrate on one point or it will scar the paper.
The process can take a long time but if you do more then one cyanotype at a time you can actually get a bunch done.
Here is one of those awesome light boxes I was talking about that can deliver the sun-like rays to the paper.
All thats left after the wash is to dry the work and you are done. Usually a blow dryer or a drying rack would be your choice of utility for drying.
Whelp thats the beginning of the cyanotype process for me. Hope I can create some great works out of this and share them here with ya.
Till Next Cyanotype
