Hi,

I've made a few and here's my personal tips:

---over print the cyanotype (the Van Dyke bleaches the print)
---dilute the VDB with distilled water (My personal preference is to dilute
it 1 part VDB to 2 parts water, although 1:1 and straight will work too)
---be careful not to overprint the VDB (it will take over)

Don't expect repeatable results. That's what I like best about the process.
