Cyanotype experiment

I have just finished an experimental batch of cyanotype papers. I'm checking different weights and qualities of paper to see what will give me a consistent result. I made a light sensitive emulsion and each sheet is coated with this liquid and left to dry. Hopefully I can then use the paper to make cyanotype prints on site. Cyanotypes are exposed to ultra-violet light -daylight and fixed in ordinary water. I think that this makes them ideal for use on the Oxford Island site.
