Just a little note to Judy's excellent entry on cyanotype paper - if you
use rice paper, wash it MUCH longer than you think neccesary. Otherwise, in a
couple of months, the cyanotype than sunk deeply into the layers of the rice
paper will develop out. Sort of a deep blue image on a silvery blue ground. But,
then again, that can be nice too. I never completely lost the image. At the
chance of sounding morbid, it actuall enhanced that particular image since it
was of some one I was quite fond of in my youth, who unfortunately died quite
young. Maybe 30 minutes long? I don't know, I didn't try it again.
