PRINTING WITH THE SUN!? | A Beginners Guide To Cyanotype Printing On Paper

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Well I feel like that could have gone a little better 🫠🫠

[@friendlymonkey2003]

Like the soldiers and yes ghostly. The feathers weren't bad and yes the rings worked better 👏🏻👍🏻😃 Yeah definitely try again Ant 🤗🥰🥰

[@sistersarann3819]

wow, i never heard of this printing, but i love it. abstract art is my favorite and i would love to see a large print using this technique. loved the soldiers and the feather. very cool :)

[@heidiroush5448]

That's cool. I really like the feather one and the rings. I would love to see you do it again.

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks Heidi! 😊😊 Yeah think I might give it another go at some point now that I know how it works 😅😅

[@JenniMeer]

My daughter’s high school did a science fair and this was one of the activities. It was so much fun!! Don’t forget to try making a flip book. Andymation has great tutorials!!

[@alexiscrazycrafter5558]

I'm the first to comment 😊😊 love this video looks like fun I don't read first either

[@AnthonyCrammen]

😁😁 Yeah it was a fun little process! ☀️☀️

Hi Ant! I was really interested in how this would turn out as I recently purchased some pre-treated paper to do exactly this type of printing. Your experiments with different crafts and art techniques are always very useful and I’m grateful that you share them with us regardless of how successful they are. If 30 minutes of sun in the UK is “over exposure“ then I think five minutes in the Australian Sun will be more than enough. This is good to know in advance. I will share my results with you on Insta. I am studying printmaking at the moment and while I am in love with Lino cut printing, any form of printmaking is currently of great interest to me. So thanks again. Can’t wait to see what you try out next! ❤

[@Kreepykrafts]

I've never heard of this very interesting results 😅

[@kristinewithak8265]

This is interesting. I think you should give it another chance. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@mydanshi9683]

I bought the same kit and overexposed the first lot. The second lot came out really nicely. I made two of them into a notebook cover. Hope you’ll have another go. Buckles and buttons worked well and a fussy cut image of a couple dancing came out a treat. Good fun.

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only who did that 😅😅 Definitely might give it another go now that I know how it works a bit better! 😁😁

[@montialarson]

I just want to take a minute to comment about how much I appreciate the subtitles. I'm sure it's not easy. I'm not hard of hearing but I have a hard time comprehending what people are saying and often have to rewind the video, but with subtitles I can also read what's being daid which helps me to process things faster. The auto captions suck lol. So I really appreciate that uou make the subtitles. 😊

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah no problem! They're a pain in the arse to do lol and it's my least favourite part of doing KZbin lol but glad they're getting used, aslong as they are then it's worth it! 😊😊

[@BeansKneez]

i didn't even know this technique existed. very cool! it's too bad about the doily and the flower ones, but the toy soldiers and feathers came out awesome.

[@Iamcherryb]

It was interesting to see the process! I’ve only done it with the pre-made paper outside. I definitely think you could get some cool prints if you give it another go. 😊

[@aliceread260]

I just love your energy and this was a really interesting craft! Also absolutely in love with your editing style with the cutaways (they always make me laugh!), reminds me a bit of Novympia videos. Another banger you beaut! ❤

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah glad you enjoyed it! Oh I'm a huge fan of Novympia, think their editing style may have influenced mine a tad from back in the day 😅😅

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Cool video Ant. I love the little soldiers picture, it came out looking very cool! I also love the rings on the last one. Am I right in believing that you've still got some liquid left, and some papers? If so, do some for yourself off camera. You know what not to do now. I totally love science, it's fascinating isn't it! I might have to get some of that cyanotype powder for myself. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great weekend!

[@EmmaCarinaG]

I used to love darkroom photography! But I've never done cyanotype printing. Definitely something I need to try in the future! Some interesting results though ❤️

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh I've never done dark room photography before, I can imagine it's a bit similar to cyanotype printing. It was super interesting! 😁😁

[@fynnandfynner]

I've used the same kit, yeah mine didn't turn out great either....might drag it out and give it another go now..😊

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Fingers crossed it goes a little better if you do! 😁😁

[@fynnandfynner]

Narr, it was shite again lol.. Reigated it to the bin....

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh dear! 😅😅

[@alicedowntherabbithole4226]

❤❤

[@AnthonyCrammen]

😊😊

[@miasgirls3778]

♥️💖♥️

[@AnthonyCrammen]

😊😊

[@cblaney3931]

It's probably based on early photography techniques. Anyway, I'm totally shocked that you didn't throw in some joke based on 'exposed'. Are you unwell? lol

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Haha must of been too tired! 😅😅

[@Stitchfix234]

Could have gone better. But still pretty cool

[@tracyharper2121]

Quite a faff isn’t it? Got this stuff in a subscription box ages ago!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Just a tiny bit! 🤣🤣

[@lizabethrose415]

As an uncultured American, what very specific accent is this? 👀

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Lol 😅 I'm from the North East of England, closer to Scotland than London so I can have a tiny bit of an accent 😅😅

[@kingmerry10]

Hey Ant, thanks for the fun experiments with cyanotypes! It's quite an intricate process - I did some in a workshop, where we used small post-it note sized pieces of paper and a UV light, which I found gives quite a nice controlled result 🤔 Nice to see a cameo from lovely little Abel - was he hunting that disco-cat-biscuit that popped up in the studio? 😂😂

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah no problem! 😁😁 Oh and how fun! Haha well we have soooooo many rabbits around the place this year for some reason, must of literally been breeding like rabbits haha so he's always trying to catch one (and always fails lol) 😆😆

[@kingmerry10]

@@AnthonyCrammen Aww, poor Abel - hopefully he enjoys the fun of the chase, even if those rabbits are a bit too quick! 😆😆 Hope your weekend is off to a great start (and you haven't had any run-ins with bunnies) 😂😂

[@AnthonyCrammen]

@kingmerry10 Haha yeah they seem to be hiding at the moment lol. Hope you have a great weekend too! 😁😁
