Synopsis
Cyanotyping, sometimes called blueprinting, is a simple
process for producing subtle, detailed images that works beautifully on
fabric; Prussian blue and white - calm, cool, classical and utterly
beautiful. Mix this technique from the 1840s with natural leaves and
flowers or with modern digital negatives, and perhaps some textile
techniques, and you have a wide range of image making possibilities. Add
cyanotype images to your quilts, wallhangings or wearable art ...
The book has 96 pages in full colour and includes chapters on: 'Preparing
the fabric' (smooth, textured and restricted area backgrounds), 'Making the
prints' (including photograms, digital negatives, manipulating the fabric
and `putting it all together'), 'Exposure', 'Processing','So you don't want
blue' (toning, under-dyeing, over-dyeing and painting) and 'Taking care of
your cyanotypes'. There are also appendices on health and safety, copyright
and hardware/software as well as a list of suppliers and a bibliography.
