found negatives on cyanotype
these are found negatives. i painted cyanotype sensitizer onto watercolor paper, let it dry, and laid the negative on top. I placed glass on top of that, clamped it all to a clipboard, and exposed it to full sunlight for 7 minutes.

btw - Has anyone commented lately how effective you are in dealing with old curmudgeons (and I don't exclude myself from that category)? Bravo.
And re old curmudgeonism...you have only gotten younger since I've known you..
Bowie was amazing.
I went down a Bowie rabbit hole yesterday because of your youtube link.
I learned that he had a family history of schizophrenia, suffered possible bi-polar, had an awful cocaine addiction that made him insane, promoted fascism (see cocaine addiction), and was never more happy than when he was with his wife Iman.
I also very much enjoyed his last contribution to the arts, made on the anniversary of his passing...
from Wiki (some notes on the linked video below):
March 1969, David Bowie moved to Flat 1, 24 Foxgrove Road, Beckenham
Thomas Jerome Newton is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet on a mission to take water back to his home planet, which is experiencing a catastrophic drought.
Newton uses the advanced technology of his home planet to patent many inventions on Earth, and acquires incredible wealth as the head of a technology-based conglomerate, World Enterprises Corporation, aided by leading patent attorney Oliver Farnsworth. His wealth is needed to construct his own space vehicle with the intention of shipping water back to his planet. While revisiting New Mexico, he meets Mary-Lou, a lonely, unloved, and simple girl who works as a maid, bell-hop, and elevator operator in a small hotel; he tells her he is English. Mary-Lou introduces Newton to many customs of Earth, including church-going, alcohol, and sex. She and Newton live together, eventually in a house Newton has had built near where he initially landed in New Mexico.
