Seashell Cyanotype

For this picutre, I took seashells and seahorses that our teacher had collected and laid them out on the scanner the way I wanted my picture to look. I put a peiece of black bristol board and laid it on top. After I scanned it I opened it on photoshop on my computer and edited it to make it look better. I changed it to black and white and sent it to the teacher where he printed it off into a negative. I exposed it for 12 minutes on a peice of paper that i had painted with a yellow mixture. I let it sit in water until the blue stopped dripping from it and let it dry.
