During making this cyanotype, I have learned that a cyanotype is a printing process that makes 2d shapes print onto a blue piece of paper called a blueprint. You press a piece of glass onto the objects, then let it sit in the sun to print the objects on the paper. Once they are done in the sun, you wash the paper so the white pops from the blue paper.
Another thing I have learned during this is that positive space refers to the areas of the image that will be blue on the final print. Negative space refers to the areas that will be white, or the color of the paper.
