SIA natural alternative to cyanotype prints! and there’s a good chance you already have all the materials already in your home!
notes:
- if you want to measure, mix 1tsp turmeric with 3tbsp rubbing alcohol
- wear gloves and protect your working area - this stains!
- the paper is photosensitive. put the papers in the dark to dry until you’re ready to make the prints
- the glass keeps the pieces secured, you can also use clips
- leave in direct sunlight for 2-6 hrs. the amount of time depends on the sun’s intensity and desired contrast. The yellow pigment will fade in the areas exposed to light.
- to finish the print you can rinse it with a solution of water and baking soda or borax. Borax leaves the print with an orange hue. Baking soda gives the print a red/burgundy color.
- anthotypes are not permanent and will fade over time. store your final print in a dark place or scan it to create a permanent copy. You could also frame it with UV protective glass.
