[alt-photo] Re: cyanotype [Triangle]

[Diana Bloomfield]

Hmm . . . that's so odd.  I really have to humidify my papers (for  
cyanotype)-- literally holding both sides of the paper in the steam,  
until the paper actually feels somewhat damp, for cyanotype to work  
for me-- no matter what paper I use.  Otherwise, the emulsion just  
comes right off in the water.  That's why I'm so surprised that  
humidity would be the issue.   Maybe it's just weird water up there,  
full of weird toxic stuff. :0
