It’s 3:11 p.m. on Friday, and I’ve *almost* finished my to-do list for the week! To celebrate, a happy little project I’ve been meaning to post…sunprints! These require no camera or film or batteries, just some objects, special sunpaper, and the sun. You can pick up kits online, and I recently spotted the kit at Terrain locally.
When you’ve arranged your objects and exposed the paper to the sun, you get nifty little square prints like these. Just rinse with water when the paper changes color. So get out there, grab a kit, and make art with the sun, lovely people!
The left example is an old 120 film negative. The example on the right comes with a confession at no extra charge: I have an assortment of terrariums all over the house, and they exist solely to allow me to act out stories with model-railroad-sized people. (Think 1.2″ tall figurines.) Right now, there’s a murder mystery going on in the ivy, a shady deal going on behind the fern, and a goat guarding the moss.
I nabbed those little people from their homes for this sunprint, which ended up a lot like CSI: Railroad Figurines. That wasn’t how it looked in my head, but I still dig it.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
