Tea toning is something that is very suitable for cyanotypes.
I find it particulary useful to improve under-developed cyanos.
Although there is much control during the process.
Here is a sample:

Success! Well, mostly! :)
 
Again, I used the Reives BFK. Had some minor problems with my sponge-type
brush disingtigrating on the last application, which showed up very clearly
in the final print.
 
But everything turned out this time. I still didn't see the beautiful
contrast range in the images I viewed online. What I produced were a bit
more stark in appearance. I think we may be using the traditional
cyanotype- this I intend to find out this week.
 
Its an interesting process, but I'm not sure how I feel about 'all that
blue'. I'm thinking about trying the VanDyke process next.
 
Oh, yeah: It's definately much, much easier doing this on a sunny day!
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice, once again.
 
Cheers,
Shelley
