Ooh that is an interesting question - it is worth a go. My only concern is that the paste wouldn't soak into the animal bone as well as it would on paper. You could perhaps try fabric? I know it works on fabric.
@@MelanieKing I remember the artist that used cyanotype said that she coted the bones with gelatin multiple times before applying the solution so that it wouldn't be absorbed but I wonder if that could work for anthotype ( thank you for answering me , hihi don't mind my mistakes I'm not a native speaker and I'm an art student who is new to this techniques so your answers are a big help to me 🥰🥰)
My last attempt using spinach was only two coats, the image was very faint, are you suggestion four coats would result in a stronger or more contrasty image? Drying between coasts should be light-free I assume? Other than spinach do you recommend another emulsion that gives a stronger more defined image?
Yes, around 3-4 coats will make a stronger and more contrasty image. I wouldn't recommend more than that, however. It is best to keep your papers away from direct sunlight, but i've left them in a room with artificial light to dry. There are lots of great plants to try, turmeric and beetroot are popular!
So cool!
Thank you!
Cool idea! I want to try it. I think picking a higher-contrast image might help get a more clear result.
True :)
Is it possible to expose the image with a photo enlarger?
Hmm not really. You'd have to convert the enlarger to UV and expose for days! Best option is the sun...
Why not use alcohol with the spinach? Like they do with turmeric
I would usually, but this was a video made for kids. I have an earlier video where I do this.
would you do the same process if working with fabric?
Yes!
Hi does anthotype only work on paper ?? For exemple cynaotype can work even on animal bones can anthotype do the same ?? Thank you

@@souhahaddad9517 Hey, I'm not sure if that would work, but it could be worth trying!
@@MelanieKing I'll try it this weekend and see , wish me luck

@@MelanieKing Cheers :) I will give it another go when the sun reappears
