There were a few things that made this project a struggle for me, mainly technical issues with exposure times and one of my Cliché Verre negtives not being dark enough. Overall I felt as though it was a good learning experience with Cyanotypes as the concept and process of making them is very straight forward, but creating them is much tougher as you don't always know if something is going to go wrong.
