Natural uv Cyanotypes:

To make these cyanotypes I painted a mixture of water paper and cotton rag paper with cyanotype solution and then dried them using a hair dryer. I then put them outside during the afternoon and put my pieces of acetate on top, I then left them outside for a few hours. Unfortunately, when washing the paper the images washed out completely and either nothing stayed or barley any of the image could be seen. This was a failed attempt and looking back I believe that it likely could have been because by using a hairdryer the mixture just didn't have enough time to properly imbed itself into the paper, but there are other factors that could have contributed such as a cloudy sky and low light. To try to fix this I decided to prepare some paper the night before and let them dry naturally over night and see how this affects my next attempt.
