Cyanotype sun-print frame

Press cyanotype paper and objects flat under glass in the sun

A frame for making cyanotypes, the blue sun prints. Coated paper lies on the floor with leaves or lace on top, and a sheet of glass rests on ledges round all four walls to press everything flat. Finger notches front and back lift the glass off without smudging. Ten minutes in the sun, rinse, and the print turns Prussian blue.
