so so fun to do with plants but also cutouts and fun items. developing photos is so cool & you don’t even need to take photos for this (and relatively affordable!) i can’t wait to try it on fabric/clothes as well ‼
been experimenting a little more with layering and using cyanotype on different mediums other than paper. its a little hobby i treat myself to when im back home and not confined to my tiny dorm room. here i used several photos i took for my schools student run record label
i know i have been doing it for awhile (see my peak on this platform aka my cyanotote) BUT i dropped it for a bit up until now thanks to a crazy idea that im trying: for context, initially when i was messing around with it and making the cyanotote was killing two birds with one stone (or tote ig) - i was working on a way of incorporating the waste from the chemicals into a relief/lino printing ink! there’s a call for exhibition at my local photo art centre and as a photographer/alt process girl/enjoyer of the unconventional i am **attempting** to see if it’s possible for me to use my cyanotype printing ink on top of a printed photo because i got a UV light that can help me be in control of the UV exposure of the chemicals does the guy at the print shop think i’m a lil crazy for trying this? yeah but i also acknowledge it is + we’re both excited to see if this works
dystopian/post-apoc easy read! I don’t read a ton of books in that genre, but found it really compelling or Bliss Montage, also by Ling Ma, is a great short stories collection. sometimes short stories are the best way for me to break out of a reading slump 🤌
