craftgrrl | My first cyanotype, thanks to you lovely folks :) (Reply)

I posted a while back asking about a certain printing process and you folks helped me narrow it down to cyanotypes. SO, since you were so very helpful, I figured I'd share with you my very first print! It's my first ever photogram AND my first ever cyanotype. Yay!

8 minutes under 150W UV light at 3 inches

The blue in the picture is a little lighter than real life, I believe due to the flash on my camera. The blue is actually pretty deep.

I'm pretty happy with this as my first try; I don't like how the leaves at the bottom turned out (yeah, they're supposed to be leaves... I used leaf shaped beads), but all in all... pretty yay. I'm probably going to retry this with different leaves at some point.
