The Cyanotype process is a non-silver printing process that uses a mixture of two iron compounds, (Ferric Ammonium Citrate,(GREEN) and Potassium Ferricyanide). If you do decide to make your own formula from scratch, be sure that you buy the Ferric Ammoniums Citrate that it is the "Ferric Ammonium Citrate GREEN". I am mentioning this is because there is a Ferric Ammonium Citrate "BROWN". This is the one you do not want to get as it will not work out well with the Cyanotype process. Potassium Ferricyanide Stock Solution: 10g of Potassium Ferricyanide 100ml of distilled or tap water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_ferricyanide) Ferric Ammonium Citrate Stock Solution : 25g of Ferric Ammonium Citrate 100ml of distilled or tap water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_ferric_citrate) Music: "Feels" by Patrick Patrikios Journal Entries: https://nicolesmalljournalentries.wordpress.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/altprocessbynicolesmall/
