Hi good morning 😊 my name is Armando I am from Mexico, excuse me I would like to ask you if there's a way to take a photo with the light of the sun creating a homemade Cyanotype I would really thank you you an answer
Thank you for watching. There is unfortunately no way to fix Anthotype prints. You can keep them in a box and view occasionally. Or you could make a high resolution scan and reprint the image as an archival inkjet print.
Keeping them out of bright light is the best bet. Sunlight creates the image - sunlight can erase it. That said, anthotypes created in the 1840s by Mary Somerville and John Herschel are still around. 😸

I'd read that direct, "full spectrum" light - ie., the sun - is necessary, that you'd have to run a UV light for several weeks to get an image using even a strong UV lamp. Wrong! It turns out someone has created turmeric-based anthotypes using a UV lamp in "only" two hours. th-cam.com/video/DpOMyDttxt8/w-d-xo.html
Great, instructional video. Thank you
Nice prints, Carolyn. And a hurray for lovely Somersetshire.
Great video!!!
Thank you very much, you're the best and it's a great idea to make it
I have to try this out!
Thank You
I might just give this a try.
Is there a way of fixing the image so that it doesn’t fade?

This is great! Thank you. Even I can do this. Is there a way to "fix" these prints so they won't eventually fade?

Wonderful and what about UV indoor light ?

Can we do it on fabric? Thank you.
