Cyanotype t-shirt

Made from a spotmatic negative, thought I'd post it up. Not actually a great dye for shirts, but it's fun to make.

I like! Very inspirational; gives me the urge to get back to some of the alternative techniques I was experimenting
with a few years ago.

Thanks! I made a transparent acetate negative from a 35mm scan using an office photo copier. Then you mix cyanotype liquid and paint it on a blank t shirt. Wait for it to dry, then stick the transfer and a sheet of glass/Plexiglas out in the sun. Wait about 12 minutes in full sun, rinse shirt, you're done!
