Reading Response 6

Cyanotype Variations and Adaptations pg 176-190

This chapter goes through the process of creating photograph cyanotypes on a large piece of fabric using your body. I found it amusing that he suggests using the ocean as your rinse. Which totally makes sense I just would have never thought of that. I also found it helpful that if you make cyanotype clothing its better to not use detergents or laundry soaps containing phosphates. Instead it is better to use a soap such as Ivory or Dove. These products will not turn your cyanotype clothing yellow like other detergents will.
