It’s made from ground up granite and a binder. It’s got a slick surface that allows the chemicals to move around a bit during exposure and create cool patterns. The brand I’ve been using is Yasutomo.

I also made a set of prints on mineral paper. I'm very happy with the patterning on the fabric print, and the swirly bits on the paper prints. I love how even somewhat mundane leaves are transformed with this process. More on my blog, link in comments. #cyanotype #wetcyanotype

Thank you! I have favorite bridges I revisit often, the light changes and there’s always new angles to admire. Have fun with your bridge!

I then sent it off for special processing (don't use a regular lab, it will mess up their chemistry) and these are the results.
I'm finding that in general, dish soap, which is a base, gives a very different vibe than lemon/lime juice, which is an acid.

This batch has two large prints on cotton sateen, and four single leaf prints on mineral paper. There's a ton of color and pattern variation on all of them-click through and enjoy! #wetcyan #cyanotype #blueprint #altphotography #printmaking #redmulberry

The white mulberry, which I come across much more frequently, is an invasive that was introduced here to feed caterpillars for the silk industry. The two are now frequently cross-breeding. The leaves of the red are much larger than the white, and the shapes are wonderful for printing with.
