friendly suggestion: turn your camera 90º for videotaping. That way you'll get a landscape orientated video as opposed to this portrait orientation.

I did try this last week and had fantastic results! Temps were 7`C and cloudy all day on the first day. On the second day it was 11`C with sunny periods and som clouds. Results were exactly the same for both days. The prints were outside for 2 hours each day. Lots of fun😊

Hi, thank you for the video, loved the process! Can I ask how was the vinegar diluted? is it 50-50 with water? Thanks for any help!

Hello, what is the glass' size? and how many millimeters about the thickness? I do use a plexiglass but I don't find it heavy enough? Your work is a very beautiful inspiration, thanks!

Fabulous and so inspiring. I bought the chemicals and water colour paper. It did not turn out so good. I think the paper must be important. Mine was cold pressed 100% cotton. Looked dreadful too textured. And colours were harsh. Can you tell us what you use please?

very well done, so beautiful 💥💥❤❤

Thanks very much for this video. I like the yellow spots: I suppose that’s the turmeric? I probably did something wrong as the turmeric when rinsed did not give any yellow stains but just whitish spots as the sun did not go through ! I would like to get some yellow tones as for the moment mine are just in blue tones and that’s a bit boring ! Thanks again

Yes, Catherine. The turmeric is what gives the gold/yellow colors. I put quite a goodly amount on the paper and it seems to ALMOST always work. Nothing is set in stone with the process. It is a lot of experimentation so just enjoy the fun of the process!

Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to try it. Does it work on fabric?

Beautiful work. I've been playing with cyanotypes and am always looking to try new things. Next on the list is toning using coffee or various kinds of tea. I really want to try your wet cyanotype technique though. How colorfast is the turmeric? I know turmeric anthotypes will fade over time if exposed to light, but this doesn't seem to be quite the same thing.

What happens if you don't rinse with the peroxide? Will it stay with a greenish cast or fade? You're a good teacher. Thank you.

Thank you!!!

I forgot to ask in one of your pieces what object did you use to make the balloon shape

Thanks so much for this video -I've been experimenting with wet cyanotype with mixed results and you gave me some new ideas to try. Question - how did you get the white edges on the prints in the beginning of the video? did you just coat part of the paper or cover the edges?

Sometimes i tear the edge of the watercolor paper once the print is done and dry

Is the process the same if you use a t-shirt or canvas bag?

Thank you, was the paper left in direct sun the whole time?

thank you

what kind of paper are you using? Is it plain paper?

I am sorry I just noticed that i could turn on the captions to read your directions as well. I have a hard time hearing. I was able to read all the answers to my questions. Sorry i had not noticed this before.

Do you also sometimes use salt and foam?

I liked the greener color! Is there any way to preserve that?

@elkrapidsdistrictlibrary8605

2 жыл бұрын

You can skip the hydrogen peroxide rinse but over time the color will change anyway.

Very beautiful and inspiring. Is it exposed for 5 hours because it's a wet cyanotype? I've tried the dry one and it takes less than a few minutes of faily good sunlight. Thanks!

@elkrapidsdistrictlibrary8605

Lucimeire, yes. With the wet cyanotype process, the longer it is left out in the sun, the more interesting the results can be. Some people leave them out for 24-48 hours. I am too excited to see the results so I usually don't go more than 8-9 hours. Experiment with it though. Results will vary and that is part of the fun!

Do you seal your art work with anything to preserve the colors in any way? Thank you!

Recently I’ve been using Renaissance Wax Polish but I don’t think it is necessary as my older works from 3-4 years ago have not faded at all. It is best not to hang them in direct sunlight, polished or not.

Love this idea! I am going to try it. Can you give me an idea of what the ratio is for the vinegar solution please? You said diluted- can you just give an estimate if exact doesn't matter. Thanks!

I often tear the edges once the prints are done. I like the look. And I use a variety of watercolor paper. Different papers work differently as far as colors go. You just kind of have to experiment. There are sources online that will help you choose.

Please rinse into a drain and not outside.

Do you sell by chance ginkgo leaves? Thank you 😊

cyanotype chemicals are safe to wash down the drain provided they are diluted with plenty of water

It was in the direct sunlight for 5 hours or it was in the shadow? I'm really struggling with the time to do the cyanotypes

I try to keep them in direct sunlight for the majority of the time. In my yard It requires moving them as the sun moves but that's ok. The longer the better. Some even leave them out for days at a time. I am not patient enough for that! Usually 5-8 hours is all I do.

But acid in contact with cyanotyping colour sets free toxic gas. You use vinegar!! So how can you avoid breathing that in??
