Thanks for your video. 🤗 One thing - what about putting the tshirt onto cardboard and then put the glass over before you take it out into the sun, covering the glass before you take it outside? That way you can just leave the leaves or what have you in place instead of removing them before you take things outside. Great video, and it's inspired me, especially as a run of nice weather is coming my way now. 🙂
I just started cyanotype art and love it! I've made fabric into pillows and am planning to stretch some fabric on canvas. I used watercolor paper and they're gorgeous!love your Tshirt idea!
awesome. I think cyanotype is really great for pillows and tote bags because it's not that color fast. I made another tutorial about using solar fast which is better for fabrics and very similar to cyanotype. It comes in blue and other colors. Here's that video: ruclips.net/video/w3CCd0WL_Nc/видео.html
I do cyanotypes, mainly of photos I've taken and also for friends etc. I use heavy (160-300gsm) watercolor papers and other heavy paper types that can stand being put in water without ripping or becoming waterlogged. It's a fun way of developing a pic!!!😊😊😊
I am not sure about that. I did not wait for it to dry. I would say this project is best for a tote bag or something you would not wash very much. This set is it as colorfast as I would like. Solar fast is more color fast. I made a tutorial more recently about that
Thanks so much! Good to know about your favorite brand of paper. I will check it out. What kind of fabric/clothes are you planning to use for cyanotype?
So no need to dry the chemicals on the shirt before placing the leaves and putting into the sun? I am going to be trying to do some placemats and didn't want to dip the entire thing in the chemicals, just paint the chemical on. I thought I might have to then dry them before placing the botanicals before laying out in the sun, but it looks like I can just paint and go?
I've never tried with raw chemicals. I just did a similar process with Solar Fast that seems to be more color fast. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/w3CCd0WL_Nc/видео.html
If you want to get a different colour you can predye the fabric (or use an already coloured fabric). The colour will usually mix, eg. if you’d start with red you will get a purple colour for the background and red for the resist. You can also tone the cyanotype afterwards but that’s a whole other process.
I used 100% cotton. The solution doesn't specifically say which fibers will work. I would imagine cellulose fibers work best. I'm not sure about protein fibers. I wouldn't try it on polyester personally.
Here is a newer video I made where I work with Solar Fast, which is more permanent on fabric, check it out: ruclips.net/video/w3CCd0WL_Nc/видео.html

Thanks! Welcome to my channel :). Good idea! I did a sun print project after this one. And I think I did what you are describing- it was easier.
@@OnyxArtStudios You're welcome! I'm glad it worked out for you. :)
I look forward to seeing what else is on your channel. :)

I’ve only tried this process on WC paper. A white t shirt will be next. Thank you!
Good luck!
HI. I always thought you needed to dry the fabric first before exposing? As your's has worked so well I assume not!
I am not sure about that. I did not wait for it to dry. I would say this project is best for a tote bag or something you would not wash very much. This set is it as colorfast as I would like. Solar fast is more color fast. I made a tutorial more recently about that

Hello! I loved the video :) When I create my cyanotypes on paper I love to use BFK Reeves paper or Water Color paper so it can with stand the liquid.

Can you use tap water to mix it?
Hi, how well does it resist washing and could I just throw it into the washing machine or is it better to handwash?
It is not very color fast I would say 5-10 washes depending on the detergent you use.. Solar Fast seems to be more color fast.
Please tell us if it works on mix or synthetic fabrics.
Hi, I use raw chemicals from a lab! My prints are always faded or pale blue. How can I make it vibrant blue?
I've never tried with raw chemicals. I just did a similar process with Solar Fast that seems to be more color fast. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/w3CCd0WL_Nc/видео.html
Teabag paper is great for cyanotypes.
if you'd like to try paper again, next time use watercolor paper. It holds up a lot better to the process.
Great idea! I tried this technique again with solar fast and it was a better solution for fabric. ruclips.net/video/w3CCd0WL_Nc/видео.html
Did the chemicals dry on the shirt before you added the leaves? Sorry newbie here.
No the chemicals were wet the whole time. Are you going do cyanotype on clothes or fabric yardage?
@@OnyxArtStudios I want to use negatives on vintage linen fabric, anyway that’s my plan to try. Thank you. Linda
Is that the background color that you always get with the cyanotype dying
Thanks for watching. Whatever color the ground is will be the resist. Typically Cyanotype is blue.
If you want to get a different colour you can predye the fabric (or use an already coloured fabric). The colour will usually mix, eg. if you’d start with red you will get a purple colour for the background and red for the resist. You can also tone the cyanotype afterwards but that’s a whole other process.
How many washes does this dye lasts?
Approximately 5-10
hi! may I know if the cyanotype will wash out after laundering? is there a way to make it permanent?
I would say about 5-10 washings depending on the detergent etc.
Solar fast seems to be more color fast
Can u tell me whats the soliustion please
All the supplies are listed in the description box. Thanks for watching!
what type of fabric can you do this to?
I used 100% cotton. The solution doesn't specifically say which fibers will work. I would imagine cellulose fibers work best. I'm not sure about protein fibers. I wouldn't try it on polyester personally.
nice video dear friend like
Thank you!
