One of many projects!

It has been a crazy few months. Never been so busy in my life!! With the wedding planning, the closing on our house coming up, graduation just around the corner, who has time to think? ;) So many things going on, so many projects and so much to look forward to!

Here is one project I am working on... it is cyanotypes in the sun. I am creating fabric cyanotypes to later make into a quilt. It is a lot of fun and a good excuse to get outside!






A short, sweet explanation: The first image I finished coating the piece of fabric. I am using a work light in a basement with the windows completely blocked off. The work light does not affect the chemicals. The second and third photos are the chemical-soaked fabric being exposed to the sun. The second one is about 5 seconds after I placed it on the deck, and as you can see the changes already began. The colors went from yellow to blueish to greenish. The third one is a few minutes before I took it inside. The fourth image is the fabric being rinsed in water, now the blue shows up and this is what the final product looks like!
