Name: Solar Print Cyanotype Tote Bag
Availability: InStock

Solar-print your own tote bag with this DIY kit!

Cyanotype is an early photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print (also known as blueprint). All you need is sunlight, water, and whatever objects you want to create the image with!

Now you can design and produce your own blueprint on the Cyanotote bag. All you need are some objects of your choosing, sunlight, and water to imprint shapes onto the bag’s cotton fabric, which is coated with a light-sensitive solution. Depending on the intensity of the sun and your chosen exposure time, the green colour of the fabric will turn silvery. The design will appear as a photogram, a negative shadow image resembling an x-ray. Imprints will vary in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used. Your creation is both permanent and water-resistant.

CYANOTOTE is non-toxic and is safe for children. Wash in cold water with non-phosphate detergent only.

Sealed bag containing cyanotype tote bag kit: GOTS certified 100% cotton tote bag, 37x43cm, long handles. Treated with environment-safe compound of ferric salts. Manually applied coating may show irregularities.

Made in Switzerland.
