Thank you and Phill for your nice words, I received your print last week and its a really nice print of a very special scene. But please can you give me some words about the print technique?

I too received a nice cyanotype from Randy this weekend. Thanks Randy! I have just 'cracked' open my cyanotype kit and will be making mine this weekend. I will be late this round since I have many, many prints to make.

Oh curses and the postcard exchange with a bajillion particpants just closed too. My backlog is getting bigger and bigger. Err ...

Regards, Art.

I received Phill's lovely cyanotype floral today, and I'm so happy with it! It's going to look great next to Anke's cyanotype on my kitchen wall.
Anke, apparantly in my rush to send out the prints I forgot to include the data sheet. The print is a gum over platinum/paladium on Fabriano Uno. The neg is on Polaroid Type 55. The pigment is Burnt Sienna. Developer is Potassium Oxolate, cleared in Citric Acid.
Best,
Rory

Hi Rory,
thanks for the data, I was a little bit confused about the two colours at the print, but now it is clear. Hope to meet you again in one of the next exchanges

All the best,
Anke

That was quick! I only posted on Friday. The carrier pigeons must have had tail winds

I am glad you like it. However please feel free to critique via pm if you have any comments. I am still fairly inexperienced in Alt Printing and always willing to learn more.

Cheers


Phill

I have received two beautiful prints in the mail so far. One stunning cyanotype from Anke, and an amazing urinal scene from Rory. Mine are going out tomorrow. Thanks for the wonderful additions to my prints from previous exchanges!

Art,

Thanks for the kind words! That negative is my favorite so far in cyanotype. I would like to work with some other processes, as well as build an 8x10 printing frame, but like you said, the Postcard Exchange is huge this time, and I've got a butt-load of other printing obligations still... I'm not at all concerned about when your print arrives - they are always well worth the wait.

Todd's beautiful pd. print arrived yesterday. It's really subtle in it's tones and I like it a lot. Thanks Todd
