Sun Prints


You can make the above just by getting special photosensitive behavior and laying objects on it. It's called a cyanotype, and the directions are here.

For the budget friendly version, you can just lay objects onto dark colored construction paper in full sunlight for about an hour, like below.

    I think cyanotypes are really cool, and I actually have a cyanotype kit! I would want to charge it at least in part to the project if we use it (cuz it was $$) but I totally think we should try the construction paper!
