RE: Cyanotypes

I wouldn't be sorry for starting a discussion on the list! It is refeshing to
know that there are still people out there on the list who are posting. I
think it was pretty silent for almost 2 months before. Thanks for perking up
my cold rainy day here! I have use some "nature print" cyanotype paper with
my students just to give them a feel for the process. On a sunny day we often
only have 2 min. exposures for a pretty dark blue.
