I saw a print in the MOMA listed as a "cyanotype" that was very beautiful. I had never heard of such a thing and a few weeks later I stumbled across this fabric at a store in Park Slope. I remember having something similar as a kid but it wasn't as colorful or as cool. These are basically little squares of fabric that you set objects on and lay out in the sun for a few minutes. After a few minutes you rinse it under water and the areas that had objects on them clear away to reveal an image. I thought I made more than this...not sure if they got lost or what...
love these cyanotypes. the bottom two look like they are under water.
