Comments

Works really well Sarah, well done.

Great experiment with a nice finished piece.

What an interesting technique (have just learnt something) and a super end result

Fabulous

Love this Sarah, it does work so well.

A great result from your interesting experiment Sarah.🌞🌞

Great sun print Sarah. I recently tried some of these. It’s a bit like taking a photograph on film - you never knew how it was going to come out until you saw the finished result. I especially like how you were able to create the water surface.

Thank you very much Stephen, Paul, Heather, Valerie, Jen, Rachel, Carole and John - really appreciate your comments. And yes John it's a completely unpredictable process but magical too. Think the splodge at the bottom was probably a in application but I liked it!

This is really good Sarah. I first came across cyanotype at Patchings a couple of years ago, but have not tried it. Sounds very interesting and great fun.
