How interesting, Lisa. (I think we did something similar in grade school with colored construction paper.) I would love to see others' creations or more of your own at some time. :)

Hiya lisa,

Very festive result.
And such an interesting project to try for ourselves one day.
Actually, come to think of it, I made strawberry jam once in a very similar way - glass sheet over a lasagna dish, out in the sun.(Joy of Cooking PennDutch recipe). No photographic paper though:-)

Rick Forrestal said...

These are sooo cool. Love the coloring ....

Great tutorial Lisa - I had a kit for doing this when I was little, although I think it was modified photographic paper. From memory it only had to be in the sun for 1-2 hours and was "paper quality". So much fun though! Love the pinkish hues to your cherry blossoms.

@Tina - Just a photo that comes from your heart.

texwisgirl said...

That is awesome! I would have never guessed the process. It is beautiful!

Anna said...

Thanks so much for the information on this process. Your result is lovely! Very intriguing, I'll have to try it :)

Ankush Samant said...

Thanks fr sharing the great technique! I will try it out sometime soon.

This time I tried my hand at helping an NGO gain momentum for collecting toys for the under-privileged. hope it helps. Just a small effort on my part to do something big!

Have a great week :)

Thank you so much for sharing your process....it's a step up from the sunprints I made with the kids in my Kindergarten classes. Now I'm wanting to do a grown-up version. Your print is so lovely!

So beautiful work you show to day, I like it.

Dorian Susan said...

Well holy schmoly look at that. Amazing. I read all the instructions and applaud you for doing it. Sounds very tricky to me, but you've made it look easy.
Was out shooting some pics this a.m. and saw some magnolias and thought of you immediately.
Hope your weather is as lovely as mine.

Angie Willis said...

How pretty this is. Well worth the time taken to do.

lisa said...

@NatureFootstep. Yes, you get a color print from the B&W paper.

How gorgeous, Lisa! I love this and it really sounds not too complicated! Thanks so much for sharing this! Have a wonderful week!

This is a beautiful image, Lisa! Thanks for the how-to. If I ever see the sun again, I may try it!

This is so creative! This looks like a beautiful necklace sparkling under the lights. And I LOVE any shade of orange.

hootnonny said...

Love the results! And it made a heart!

Lui said...

Wow, Lisa, this is so amazing! I admire you for taking the time and having the discipline and verve to do it!

I find it as tricky as doing fine printmaking which I love but have no patience for ;-(

Debora Parola said...

It's a very original work! Congrats!
Me too love so much creativity! It's a great way to color the life!
Have a great week!
