Cyanotype Paper - 8 x 10, 12 pack (Green)

Cyanotype, a mid-1800s alternative photographic process, was invented by Sir John Herschel in England. Now, it is widely used as an everyday art material for people of all ages. But how does it actually work? The secret lies in the pre-coated 100% natural fiber paper from The Cyanotype Store, which creates a sun-sensitive printable surface.

To create your own Cyanotype print, simply choose a design or object that you want to print. This could be anything from ferns and flowers to photographic negatives or found objects like lace and beach glass. Once you have your design ready, follow these steps:

1) Lay your design on the pre-coated Cyanotype Paper 2) Expose it to the sun or a UV lamp for 10-15 minutes 3) Rinse the paper in water for 5 minutes

The result? A stunning Prussian Blue color will appear around the design, while the design itself will remain in its original color. The Cyanotype Store offers a variety of paper colors, including white, violet, green, blue, yellow, and red, which can all be purchased on Amazon.
