I am not a professional, but know I have achieved great results so I can share the things I know.
This video will help both a beginner and someone who has already tried cyanotype printing before. It is aimed towards paper printing but some of the rules apply to fabric printing too. I mainly cover printing with flowers and plants. I make and sell prepared paper via my Etsy so thought my customers might like a how-to video to refer to.
I sell this paper on Etsy, in easy to use kits. I also sell finished prints.

That dandelion standing and not pressed was genius!
I would love a followup video on doing this on fabric. I am a Master Gardener, I'd love to be able to wear some precious natives!
Thank you so very much for this video! I am just thinking about starting Cyanotype printing and you were so very informative. And your calm, well spoken way is a pleasure to listen to.
I’m fairly new to cyanotype printing but love it already. I have watched a tonne of YT videos on how to do it but your was by far the best. It was highly informative and incredibly inspirational too. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share your passion and skill!

I can fully agree on this!
this was SO helpful, thanks!
Lovely video, Daisy. One tip I could offer is check the frame you use does not have glass treated with UV protection as this will drastically reduce the success of the exposure. This is one of the few instances where the cheaper option is usually the better one.

Ps You are so lucky with your South African sun - it is so wonderful for cyanotypes ☀️. In Northern Scotland we need a little more patience to get the same results as you do. Still worth it though!
Oh, this was exactly what I needed to learn! The only bad thing is that I do not need another crafty hobby... Thank you for the clear instructions and the "rules." I am off to find the paper.

I hope you found some paper, I do sell the paper online if you want some nice quality handmade paper!
First time doing cyanotype printing. I bought the chemicals, but the instructions are in French only! I watched a lot of YT videos and this video is by far the most helpful and informative! I subscribed to your channel to watch more of your videos. Thank you for this amazing video!!! 💐Marnel🇨🇦

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Yes, the dried flower collection is actually quite addictive! So many things are blooming now that I have had to make some large flower presses to dry them in.
I am looking forward to trying this in the next week or so. Your video is so well done and very easy to follow. Thanks so very much!
A very good and clear explanation. Thanks! Gonna give it a try.
This is an incredibly useful video. Thank you for making it!
Very well done tutorial. I am just starting with Cyanotype so this was exactly what I needed!

Thank you! I make lots of videos on TikTok about the process and plan to share them on here too!
Excellent video! I had already started doing cyanotype so I’d already made a lot of similar discoveries, including deciding to dry flowers and leaves to re-use and to be able to use flat, but yours is definitely the most thorough video I’ve seen to date.

Thank you so much! Yes, I felt the need to share what I knew because I found it tough to find any thorough info on KZread, which is the place I come to learn. Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this! I feel like I have the confidence to tackle this medium now :)

Daisy thanks for a fab video, really clear, well paced and informative.
Thanks for sharing you knowledge and experience. I have just received a Jacquard cyanotype kit and you have provided me with some great information and I can’t wait to experiment, we are in our winter here and it is a little overcast so I think I might wait for the warmer and sunnier weather to print.
So helpful for my school project tysm!! ❤️
Very informative for a novice like me. Thank-you
Thank you for going through the process. Will you upload any other videos?
Very detailed and helpful. Looking forward to trying all the tips now!
Loved your video...going to do daffodils

Thank you so much! I dried so many daffodils this year so that I could press them. Such gorgeous plants, aren't they! Thank you for commenting, much appreciated!
This is sooooo helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Very informative and honest, love your videos 😄
Such a helpful video - thank you for sharing!
Where can I get a chart like what you show on how to tone the colors with tea, etc.?
Podrías poner subtitulos en español?🙏 gracias
Which book/document did you take the toning samples from? Did you create them yourself?
When you got to the “put your prepared paper down” you lost me. How do you prepare the paper and with what?
Great tutorial
Thank you so helpful
What paper do you use and how does one prepare it?
Super helpful! What paper is best to use? Thank you Louise
😊😊
Will you be doing wet Cyano with the soap suds?

Unfortunately too many people think art isn't technical and knowledge based, but all just spontaneous feelings and magic. Obviously not the channel or activity for you. Just buy stuff and learn from all your mistakes instead. Problem is, if you don't have the patience to watch a short video, you're likely discouraged by the inevitable mistakes you'll make not listening to people who share their tips and technique.
