Elecia WhiteFolded some origami with curved creases and miura ori pattern on cyanotype paper. Put it outside to get some sun. Washed and flattened, this is what they look like.

Geoff 🏴@logicalelegance That's brilliant :)
Tried something along the same lines with a 3D printed landscape / mountain range in transparent filament, hoping it would cast shadows on the paper. Didn't work, "transparent" but not to UV I think. Must retry it with transparent resin...

rhempel@logicalelegance that looks beautiful! Is cyanotype the same as what we used to call blueprint paper?
@rhempel No, it is marketed as sunorint paper, turns dark blue in tye sun, white where shaded.
@rhempel actually, yes, blueprints use the cyanotype paper… though I don’t know how yet
@logicalelegance I read the Wikipedia page for blueprints - there was a chemical bath used after exposure ... So notbquite the same :-)
botvolution@logicalelegance lovely work
●@logicalelegance #Alt4You Three abstract cyanotype photos showing the flattened fold marks of light-sensitive papers that were exposed to the sun.
The images show rhythmic, accordion-style tessellations and variegated, alternating colors of blue, from the chemical reaction of light exposure, and white, from where the fold pattern prevented light from interacting with the chemical.
katherine montalto@logicalelegance Very cool
