Thank you for a great video.

This is great as i have been making cyanotypes, and this makes easier and also more colourful! Didn’t know you could use acrylics, thank you so much, going to try it out. Could you use fabric paints instead to have a washable print?
did it work with normal acrylic paint?
Did you cover it with plastic or glass outside?
how do you fix the print??
Here is what I do for the 100% cotton used for sun drying and colour fastness... first of all never use straight acrylic paint on fabric if you don't want it to be really stiff. I mix equal amounts of Liquitex Fabric Medium or Golden GAC 900 medium to the acrylic paint. This will make sure your colour remains bright for years and will also ensure you keep the fabric's natural feel and softness. After its done drying in the sun and the items on the fabric are off, turn over and iron with a dry iron to heat seal the colour. Voila!
