DIY Cyanotype Fabric kit - analogue photography - blue - instructions in french, german, english, top dutch - blueprint pillowcase, bag, napkins

Dear lover of blue and fabric!

With this kit you can make blue top sun prints on fabric at home! Whatever your creative taste is, you can make a blueprint of it: use photo's, objects or drawings.
You don't need any experience, technical devices or even a camera. The kit contains everything you need and you don't even have to give up your bathroom to create a darkroom ;)

The mix you make will allow you to give fabric a photographic surface, sensitive to UV-light. A reaction will take place between the treated fabric and the sun: where the sun hits the treated fabric it turns blue, unreached areas will remain white.

Contents of the kit:
– Step by step instructions especially suited for working on fabric, instructions in English, French, German, Dutch. Working on fabric has some different needed tips&tracks comparing with working on paper

This technique is called Cyanotype and was discovered in 1842. It's one of the first steps towards the enormous amount of photographic discoveries made in the 19th century. Leading up to your very digital camera now.

I love photography, always have. With this kit I would love to ignite the wonder of what it's like to see an image appear before your eyes.

Did you know that, from Greek, 'photography' means 'writing with light'?

I say, go capture the sun!
