I could not understand what you used on the last two before the plexiglass going down.never mind. I should have watch to the end where you printed out the ingredients used. Thank you. Very nicely done.

Hi, it's turmeric on the 3rd and the 4th has turmeric, vinegar and rock salt. However, I have been using just rock salt with my students and it really adds texture and looks like small stars

@@emmajukes6549 Well explained, thanks. What are the proportions of vinegar to water used?

[@kimclarke1605]

That was an interesting video thank you for doing a comparison. I expected the turmeric to stain the paper. I am confused too as other videos let the solution dry before placing the materials on the paper but it doesn’t seem to matter?

[@emmajukes6549]

thank you, it all depends on how you want it to look. dry is more defined and better when using digital negatives

I'm using Jacquard's cyanotype fluid as well, but for some reason the exposed image gets completely wiped when I put it under water.

[@emmajukes6549]

It’s possible that the exposure it not long enough. It all depends of the quality and quantity of light

@@emmajukes6549 also type of paper, i used photo paper and mine washed off, the i bought some hot pressed watercolour paper its smooth but got some tooth to it and you can wash to your hearts content. Clamping down the glass to backing is most important too
