More experiments with cyanotypes. This set is a before and after doing a double exposure.
The first photo shows a print that I did as a wet cyanotype in the normal manner - that is coated my watercolor paper with the cyanotype solution, layed down some plants, added some watercolor crystals and sprayed with vinegar , exposed to sunlight, then rinsed to stop the reaction and let the print dry - then I bleached it back just a bit with washing soda and let it dry again( I forgot to get a pic before I bleached).
The second photo is after I did another exposure.
I took the first print after bleaching and added a coat of the cyanotype solution and added leaves and plants again - larger ones this time and placed them over parts of the original print that I liked best(to preserve them) - exposed to sunlight and then rinsed as usual.
I really like the effect and I have several more examples to show you over the next couple days.
Have a great day!!!
