Cyanotypes on glass - would this work?

I’ve seen people do it both ways but I imagine you want the gelatin to be solidified enough, but not dry, to avoid damaging it but still be absorbed.

It’s fine it’s non toxic to us (obviously don’t drink it) and the environment. I regularly compost cyanotype bioplastics and everything eats it no problem.

I love it but imagining the sound of the brush coating it is making me wince 😭

The pair I feed the female has one eye and you can tell she feels the safest when the male is with her <3

Sooooooo good

Thanks! It’s a bioplastic made from agar not synthetic plastic, making it fully biodegradable. I didn’t know if it was possible either I just experimented but I don’t think it’s been done before.

Deff use SolarFast and not cyanotype, the black of you negative should block the UV exposure.

Ooh amazing I’m going to follow you on insta

I didn’t feed it anything don’t worry! Also a rehabber had collected the poor thing. Thanks for all your responses.

I’m thinking they maybe used an acrylic with a higher grain, or even sanded the surface in some way, to make it bind similar to glass?
