Cyanotypes

Cyanotype is a process which creates a cyan blue print.It uses two chemicals which are ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide.

Once we had done the research we went into the processing room where the paper was already to use which contained the chemicals.We were then asked to go out a get a leaf to create our cyanotype with.Once we had a leaf we placed the leaf then the paper into the UV light machine and closed the lid.You then tighten  the blue cap which traps the air.Once the line on the dial had stopped I pressed the start button which had the timer of 120 seconds.After the time was up I undone the blue cap to release the air.It was then placed under the running water so that the green had gone.For the next few days it was left to dry.
