203/365 Blueprint
My very first attempt at cyanotype.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.
I used a kit to produce my blueprint and it was so easy and fascinating to watch it happen. A shout out to my son Matthew Fox for once again being my inspiration to try this.
