Today I developed yesterday’s cyanotypes in the garden shed. Husb has been making the shed, from scratch, for about 3 years now and it’s nearly finished. He’s plumbed in an old Belfast sink which is big and deep enough to easily develop the pictures. I soaked them for 5 minutes under running water, then 20 minutes in a tray of still water with a spot of vinegar in it – apparently it increases the contrast.
More tomorrow……

Gorgeous!! I love the organic look 😍
Thanks Margaret. I can see why Victorian botanists took to it so readily.
I just love what you’re creating with the cyanotypes. Didn’t know about the vinegar. Printing with plants is quite an amazing process. Any photos of the shed? Glad M is making it happen, no matter what the timeline is. 🙂
Thanks Gale. The shed is still a work in progress. Luckily the sink is by the door so I can just about squeeze in and use it. I’ll send photos when it’s finished. It’s nearly there. I only just learned about the vinegar. It’s supposed to increase contrast and the latest batch certainly seem to have more contrast, but I’m not sure I like it as much as the muted greyish ones. But it’s not an exact process so …..
Interesting about the vinegar. We use a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide.
I’ve read some instructions that say to use that too
