The Blueprint For Creativity

Based on the cyanotype process pioneered by Anna Atkins (the first female photographer) in 1842, Sunography is a fun and rewarding introduction to printmaking, using a minimum of equipment and materials. Place any object or transparency on the Sunography paper, expose to sunlight, and rinse with water to produce your own richly blue prints. Use old photo negatives, x-rays, bits of lace, leaves, and everyday objects to compose an endless variety of images. The heavyweight cotton paper or fabric may be exposed on both sides, and is suitable for hand coloring, painting, or stitching to make your prints even more unique. Made in the USA.

Totally different type of photography!

By placing strategic items on top of the paper you created 'pictures' when you set the paper on the sun with the items on top. Cool shade of blue.

It appears to be a perfect gift for an artistic person.

Our granddaughter has a great imagination so this gift seemed like it would be perfect for her creative side.

Great gift for crafty people

My sister likes unique gifts and she loves to make things. I saw this on the website and thought it would be perfect for her. When she opened it, she was both surprised and excited. She'd never seen a kit like this and is really looking forward to using it! I think it's great that the packaging is eco-friendly but it doesn't lend itself very well to wrapping.

Unique and easy to use

This is a very unique item that I haven't found anywhere else, and especially not at this price. It's cute and great for people interested in photography as a way to expand their skill set with new mediums.

Fun project for kids and adults

This solar photography kit is a very fun thing to do with kids. My granddaughter and I collected items from around the yard (leaves, rocks, twigs, flowers, etc) and placed them on the light blue paper in the sun. After 15 minutes we brought the paper inside and rinsed it under cold water till the paper turns a pretty darker and brighter blue and where the objects were turn white. It is a beautiful contrast. We then blot the paper and let it dry. These would make fun gifts for kids to give to parents, grandparents, etc.

Artsy Aunt loves her gift!!

My art-loving aunt is a photographer and she also loves to knit. I bought her the fabric option so that she can combine both passions. She absolutely loves it and her creations are so cool!!!

Great Gift

All uncommon gifts are fantastic. I did not know how beautiful the gift wrapping was. This gift is perfect for someone who likes photography but also likes things that are unique and interesting.
