sun prints
ever since I saw this pin on a beautiful sun print tutorial, I haven’t been able to get sun printing out of my head. I’ve ordered silk sun print fabric and have worked out a deal with the neighbors down the street to pick some of their poppies in trade for something sun printed.
while doing a little research today, I came across these beautiful hand sun printed fabrics from South Africa. so pretty, right?

sun prints? so beautiful! and i’ve never heard of it. thanks for sharing, i’ll get on that tutorial asap. xo.
I was a photo major in college back in the days of film photography. One of my favorite classes was on alternative printing processes and included a section on cyanotypes. We had to mix our own emulsions before printing; these ideas bring the concept to a whole new level! I’m thrilled that the company Anna mentioned sells at reasonable prices. I’m dying to make a silk scarf (traditional blue on white)! Now, what to print on it…
so, so pretty – love the colors, love the patterns
