I like the idea of cyanotype on fabric. The gift is for someone (or a few
people) who just graduated from the University of Michigan. The school color
is yellow (or maize) and blue, so I can use the cyanotype blue for image and
then use yellow fabric paint for other part of the design.

Will the cyanotype image washed out when one washes the pillowcase? Does one
size the fabric? How does one keep the fabric flat whien printing? I should
start searching books and archive, but any input would be appreciated as I am
running out of time (the graduates will leave here in about 3 weeks).

TIA!

Dave
