Oh fun! I use to use this with my elementary students long ago but never thought about it for my journal. Thanks so much for sharing. I will have to give it a try.
Back in the summer I visited the museum at Lacock, where Fox Talbot was from, and was intrigued by the exhibit of his cyanotype prints that he'd made in the 1830s. I was reminded of the 'sun print' kit I'd been given as a child, and on the strength of my renewed interest have booked myself on a cyanoprint course at the local college next May, which will involve mixing up the solution for projects on paper and fabric. I'd love to take a piece of my own (not precious!) acrylic artwork on paper to see if I can work with that at all, too. I was given some pre-prepped paper for my birthday earlier this month but it's been a rather dark and dingy time so I haven't had the chance to use it yet.
Thank you so much for all the fabulous ideas you've set out in this post - I can't wait to have a play!

Such a beautiful post, Kristin!
