Hi all!
I thought I'd share my latest experiment with you all. At least those of you interested in cyanotypes. 
I coated some cyanotypes and mixed the chemicals in a rusty old jar - just to find out if it would react with the metal (can a brush with a metal ferrule be used?). It did react. Here is the result:

Any feedback, or anyone else trying similar things?
All the best,
Malin
