Description:
Sun Print Swap Greetings! Let's exchange sunprints! Also known as blueprints, shadowprints or cyanotypes, this is a light sensitive coated paper. You can buy this at craft stores. Place various objects onto sunprint paper, you could even use negatives (bw works best), transparencies, foliage, anything really. Experiment! When rinsing after exposure, I add a little lemon juice to the water bath to get a darker blue color. There is no size limit, fee free to cut out shapes and place freely into an envelope, or fold a large sheet into an envelope :) Have fun!

I don't have that type of paper but did you know you can also do it with ordinary paint (wet) on paper/fabric too!

great! Feel free to do this too. Today, I was walking past an art store and they had sunprints in the window. They sell blue cyanotype paint!
