Cyanotype and toning process: A Leap of Faith
The leap of faith normally refers to doing something new in which we don't know the outcome or resource until the end. My understanding and experience of ‘the leap of faith are the opposite. Doing something that we didn't do for a long time can give unpredictable outcomes, feeling, and resources, in my term is playing a musical instrument and making art in traditional methods.
Testing cyanotype:
Cyanotype printing
- 6 mins (UV box)
- Canson smooth 300 grams
Toning cyanotype with black coffee:
Cyanotype printing
- 8 mins (sunlight)
- Pyramid rough 300 grams (yellow paper)
Toning with coffee
- 10 mins
The toning process allowed the opportunity to change the papers into brown color which was suitable and linked to my concept of doing something that we didn't do for a long time (old stuff, nostalgia).
