I have 24 separate cyanotype blueprints that I’ve printed out on the 12X18 sheets and found to be from “good” to “freakin’ awesome.” So I’ll shortly post photos, descriptions, and, most importantly of all, PayPal buttons. There will be separate posts for each blueprint (in a few cases, two per post, since they’re related). Since the postage price will be the same whether you buy one or ten, if’n you think you might be interested, it might make sense to hold off on ordering until all twenty four are posted. Of course, if you want ten of the very first one you see, go right ahead…

Not shown are a few blueprints that just didn’t work. Most of these are line drawings, but a few are paintings, and the results there have been really hit or miss. The very first one I tried, the NERVA engine, is Freakin’ Awesome. The last one I tried, von Brauns A-11, was a disaster… until I did some experiments that eventually led to me processing it for up to ten times as long as the NERVA art, and then it, too, became Freakin’ Awesome. Shrug. So, check back in a bit.

The important thing to keep in mind: these are “art.” Each one is pretty much hand made; they are not stamped out of a digital printer. Thus it takes a good long while to make each one, and each one will be different to a greater or lesser degree. But they do look pretty spiffy.
