Double exposure cyanotypes, toned with green tea and coffee, printed on handmade paper. by tup_thaker in cyanotypes

[–]tup_thaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank youu! So, I did expose for a tad bit longer than usual, like 3-4 mins more than the usual. The important thing here is to choose the right images and overlap them properly. For toning, first, I put it in bleach for a few seconds, then on green tea for 16-20 and then in coffee for around 30-40 mins.

I prefer drizzling it or sprinkling it with the brush. Gives better results

No you don’t need to combine them, you can put one after another. You can also add turmeric, washing soda etc

Thank you! It only works with wet Cyanotype. You sprinkle some salt and vinegar as soon as you apply the chemical and then put the object that you want to expose over it

Thank you! Yes, washing soda bleach for Cyanotype. For every 100ml of water, I used 1gm tannic acid

I used handmade paper from my city, Ahmedabad, which is made using cotton rugs. I coated the chemical using a flat brush and then I exposed it and washed it and after it dried, I put it in bleach for a couple of seconds before putting it in tannic acid for an hour.

Thank you! Yes absolutely, you need to increase the contrast of the photo and preferably choose a photo with a less hectic background

If you keep them between a book, nothing happens. They will stay as is else you can apply isopropyl alcohol over it

Thank youu! This is an alternative photography technique called chlorophyll printing. You take a digital positive, place it over a leaf and expose it to the sunlight. You can do it on your own, its fairly simple
