- Traditional cyanotype prints are blue. #wetcyan prints are.....you never know. In this video I take the basic cyanotype process and turn it upside down.
Materials I use:
Cyanotype Sensitizer Set by Jaquard, which can be bought here: www.dickblick.c...
Printmaking Paper: www.dickblick.c...
Glass: www.homedepot.c...
Transparencies: www.amazon.com...

Pretty cyanotypes! 💕💕
Wow! They turned out sooo beautiful! Thank you for sharing your way of doing it. Very inspiring!
Greetings from the coast of the Baltic Sea 👋
wow. great video. i love the work on your website. terrific!
Thank you! Just ordered the powder cyanotype kit and can’t wait to play!
to make the blue darker, use a hypo solution bath using hydrogen peroxide and water
Pressed flowers work really well too
your work is gorgeous! thx so much for the awesome tutuorial!
Gorgeous prints. Very talented.
Hey! This is so amazing and I have had a hard time getting the same results. Are you placing the printed side of the transparency down in contact with the paper or away?
Thanks Krista for sharing this video! Wonderful results!
Really cool concept. Very artistic!
Thank you!
Lovely images
Thank you for sharing 😊
Beautiful, but why do you have to develop them if you loved the colours as they were beforehand - couldn’t you have left them at that stage? Also though did you like them as much/less or more CJ after they developed? 😊
You know cyanotype has a limit exposure time, so putting in it under the sun 24 hours is useless, you have to make a test strip with the times in minutes like 5, 10, 15, and so on, depending on the weather and the part of the earth you are, I'm in Ecuador so my sun times are really short all year long. If you develop your test strip you will find that the darkest blue is not getting darker after a certain amount of minutes, that is the darkest it would get and that is your limit over exposure.
It looks like she's getting a really cool split-tone effect with gold in addition to blue tones. I don't think you could get those colors without the intense overexposure. Cool video!
Hi Krista! Brilliant work. Please, clear to me some points:
1) Why did you moisted the glass under the image?
2) What the effect of the overexposure (24, 48h) instead of the regular exposure (1h in a UV box)?
3) How did you get green and sometimes yellow colors ih the print after the development?
I think the water created the splotchy parts, as she mentioned at the beginning. Maybe i'm wrong :)
I would also like more of an explanation. This very informative. I would also like to know why you would use water on the underside of the paper?
Great video and with lovely results. How long did you leave thepapers in the water for development?
so sorry, just saw this! it was like 30 minutes maybe.
OK, no worries and thankyou! 8 )
But do I need to have a laser printer in order to print transparencies? The plain won't work?
hello Krista - thank you for the video - I have a drying problem - when I put the transparant on de sheet with the leaves - after 24h I take the transparancy off but underneath it is not dry yet- I used glossy photograph paper because it is quite strong - I put vinager, salt and other things on the sheet and it gives great results but the print of the flower of leaves is disturbed because it did not dry...thank you for giving me a little advice - could it be that between the sheet and the plastic you leave a air-space for circulation to improve drying? -
Rita Boon use watercolour paper, the glossy type You mentioned is of wrong kind for Cyanotype.
I have a question regarding printing my leaf images onto the clear acetate sheets. I am using an ink jet printer and I can't get the ink to dry. Do you have a tip?
Very, very cool! Love it.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing
Great video! Gracias
Muy bueno! Gracias!
what do the chemicals cost?
LOVE THIS!!!
Fabulous
Thank you!
Can this be done using actual plant material, feathers, or other items instead of a transparency?
Don't know if you'll get a reply but yes, you can Google Anna Atkins!
Yes. Feathers are exceptional. Find DARK, but not black feathers. White or light feathers are "transparent". Dry out the leaves by pressing them to remove all the moisture. Also lace works well.
You can use pretty much ANYTHING. Generally, the more light that gets through, the darker the blue you'll get. I prefer to not have blue&white cyanotypes so I use things that let different amounts of light through - like photo negatives! You might look into Man Ray and his photograms.
Can you keep the images as they are without developing in water at the end?
You could scan/photograph them before development.
You need to neutralise the light sensitive solution with water otherwise the image will continue to be light sensitive and continue exposing unwantedely. X
Be still my beating heart!!!
u never know...oh you got some garbage
