Re: Anthotypes
Someone on the portfolio exchange, a couple of years ago, included
one as I remember. It was really beautiful and very delicate-
looking. She also said it took several days of exposure.
I would have thought cyanotypes (which would be quicker, certainly)
were relatively non-toxic-- as long as people wear gloves, and
everything is mixed up ahead of time, so no one is messing around
with powders. Would making cyanotypes be too toxic for children??

I'm no expert, but tried some blueberry anthotypes couple of years
ago (still interested to continue), one of the prints can be seen at:

and there on the second thumbnail page - the "magenta" blueberry
anthotype test print, it was exposed for about four days in the
sun...
