#gelypostcardplay

Welcome to day 2 in my video series for #GelyPostcardPlay hosted by @CeriGriffiths . This fun "challenge" involves posting a 4 x 6" postcard a day that includes at least one element of gel printing and also includes a number to indicate the date the card is posted. I go over the parameters in my first video of this series but you can check out more comprehensive details by watching Ceri's video introducing the challenge: • #GelyPostcardPlay Launch
For today's postcard I am doing some botanical printing using the gel plate. I have done this many times in the past and will link a of my videos of this below but today I wanted to use blues to make the print look like a cyanotype. An actual cyanotype is done using a photographic printing solution on paper which when exposed to light (UVA to be exact) produces a blue coloured print.
Here is the Link to Johni’s KZbin ‪@junkjournalshopJohni‬ and here is her Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JunkJour...

Thank you for including the wet Cyanotype printing process video . For a number of a years i have thrown around the idea of trying this method out over the summer. Well those summers came and then those summers went ....hoping i get around to it this summer because your video is so inspiring

[@devonrex4]

Thanks Babs! I only did it that one time and was waiting for a summer to try again. Now I have to wait for our landscaping to get done. I hope you have lots of fun when you give it a go! 💙👍

I'm a photographer, and I loved doing cyanotype prints. I love that you have a hack for this process. BTW, did you say Junk Journal Johnny? Does this person sell on Etsy? I'm always looking for ephemera. TY

[@devonrex4]

Thank you Julie! I want to do more real cyanotype this summer 💙 It is “Junk Journal Shop” , she sells on Etsy and online (often with live sales and auctions on her KZbin channel). I have now linked her Etsy and YT in the description now! Thanks for asking 😄
