Cool idea! I want to try it. I think picking a higher-contrast image might help get a more clear result.

Why not use alcohol with the spinach? Like they do with turmeric

I would usually, but this was a video made for kids. I have an earlier video where I do this.

Hi does anthotype only work on paper ?? For exemple cynaotype can work even on animal bones can anthotype do the same ?? Thank you
@MelanieKing2 жыл бұрын
Ooh that is an interesting question - it is worth a go. My only concern is that the paste wouldn't soak into the animal bone as well as it would on paper. You could perhaps try fabric? I know it works on fabric.

@@MelanieKing I remember the artist that used cyanotype said that she coted the bones with gelatin multiple times before applying the solution so that it wouldn't be absorbed but I wonder if that could work for anthotype ( thank you for answering me , hihi don't mind my mistakes I'm not a native speaker and I'm an art student who is new to this techniques so your answers are a big help to me 🥰🥰)

My last attempt using spinach was only two coats, the image was very faint, are you suggestion four coats would result in a stronger or more contrasty image? Drying between coasts should be light-free I assume? Other than spinach do you recommend another emulsion that gives a stronger more defined image?
@MelanieKing2 жыл бұрын
Yes, around 3-4 coats will make a stronger and more contrasty image. I wouldn't recommend more than that, however. It is best to keep your papers away from direct sunlight, but i've left them in a room with artificial light to dry. There are lots of great plants to try, turmeric and beetroot are popular!
