Artists had to find some new way of making their work relevant when a photograph was a much easier way of creating the true likeness of a subject. My infographic poster project was the last brief I worked on in year 2 and I think it was the one I had the most fun with. Place any object or transparency onto treated paper or fabric, expose it in bright sunlight, and rinse to reveal a rich blue print. We bring that to life here at Conscious Craft by offering you the best natural toys and craft materials we can find. When I got onto this idea of using the cyanotype process my initial thought was to use cyanotype to produce the poster.

This is also how I got back to the idea of using the cyanotype process as part of my infographic design. Sunography paper is 100% cotton archival watercolour paper, light sensitive on both sides for two sided prints. Place any object or transparency on the sunography cards, expose in bright sunlight, and rinse with water to reveal a rich blue print. The LCARS design was created by Michael Okuda in the 80s and I have legitimately been obsessed with it since the age of 10. One thing which because obvious was that taping the transparency to the light-sensitive paper wasn’t enough.Placez tout objet ou diapositive sur le papier, exposez-le en plein soleil et rincez-le pour révéler un imprimé bleu.

The new molecule is colorless so that as the blue molecules are converted, the white of the paper base begins to show through.We believe that giving children the right materials, they will make and play with beautiful things that last a lifetime. Some of our printscame out better than others due to the experimentation, but I’ll share what we learnt so that you can make the bestprints first time. Cyanotype allowed Atkins to document ferns and other plant life by creating what is known as photograms. Would make a wonderful gift for an older child with an interest in photography, or for those who just like to be creative. Use old photo negatives, x-rays, bits of lace, leaves, printed transparencies or even household objects to compose designs.

By mixing equal parts of the two solutions you create a chemical which becomes sensitive to light when dry. This type of print dates back to 1842 and was popularised by Anna Atkin, one of the first female photographers. By placing objects on paper coated in this substance it is possible to create a silhouette effect on the paper.As it turned out my final project of semester 2 was also heavily inspired by cyanotypes and technical drawings. Use old photo negatives, x-rays, bits of lace, leaves, household objects or printed transparencies to compose designs. I want to share some of my projects at art school where I’ve been able to use cyanotype as part of my process.

Anna Marikar, mum of four and seasoned blogger, has spent over a decade sharing her parenting journey and passion for kid-friendly crafts and free printables.They contained lots of texture and you were never quite sure how the photo will come out till it has been developed. If you use sunography paper, all the prints are meant to come out in a rich blue colour but using these we found more variety of colour. Direct sunlight will expose the paper quickly, but even ambient light in the shade, or in a room with a big window will cause slow exposure of the paper. For best results, prepare your print in a place where the sun’s light cannot reach the paper as you arrange objects on top of it. It was really interesting being able to look through this archive and it was a huge inspiration for the overall look of my infographic.
