Assignment #2: The Cyanotype


First of all, I chose the objects that I wanted to use for my cyanotype.  I chose hair clips, a necklace, buttons, a few key rings, and earrings.
The picture above is a sketch I did before doing the final cyanotype.


Then, at school and with the teacher, we went outside and placed the objects that we had chosen for the cyanotype project on a blank paper. That wa, we knew exactly where we would put it on the real cyanotype paper.

Once the teacher gave us the special paper that was in a black envelope, we went back outside, I took the special paper out of the envelope and placed as fast as I could the objects on it.
I left my cyanotype under the sun for exactly 17 minutes.
After that, I rapidly took the objects off of the paper and I put the paper back in the envelope.
I then had to wash my cyanotype with water and let it dry.
The picture above is the final result of my cyanotype.
