Cyanotype Prints

Cyanotype was developed by Herschel in 1842.  This is the method used to make blueprints.  I created 7.5" X 10" negative from either digital photos or actual film.  Cyanotype is blue in color, but can be toned, I have used coffee (make print black in color) and tea (brownish tone) the toning color is by trail & error.  These prints all seem to have flaws here and there, and this is a work in progress.
