Overview
A6 Cyanotype Kit with Egyptian Pyramid and Sphinx Foil 5 Sheets of Sun Paper 14.8 x 10.5 cm Cover Blue Print For Crafting

The cyanotype kit featuring Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx is designed for creating your own blue sun prints in A6 format. The package includes 5 sheets of light-sensitive paper measuring 14.8 x 10.5 cm, one foil with a black and white design, and a cover. The design captures the Sphinx in front of the pyramids under a cloudy sky, resulting in an image of one of the most famous monuments of antiquity on the paper. To transfer the image onto the paper, all you need is sunlight and clean water, without any additional tools. The resulting images have the characteristic blue and white appearance of cyanotypes and are suitable as decoration, greeting cards, or handmade gifts.

Place the foil along with a sheet of paper into the cover and leave the entire package in direct sunlight for approximately 10–15 minutes. Then remove the paper, rinse it thoroughly in clean water, and allow it to dry. If the time in the sun is too short, the design may wash away during rinsing, and uneven lighting may result in the paper having a different shade. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a sunny spot without shadows from trees or buildings. The light-sensitive layer is applied by hand, so there may be traces of the solution on the back of the paper, which do not affect the front.

  • Type – cyanotype kit (sun print)
  • Design – Egyptian pyramids with the Sphinx
  • Paper Format – A6, 14.8 x 10.5 cm
  • Number of Sheets – 5
  • Exposure Time – approximately 10–15 minutes in direct sunlight
  • Development – rinsing in clean water and drying
  • Packaging – black opaque bag
  • Contents of the Package – 5 sheets of A6 cyanotype paper, 1 foil with the design of pyramids and the Sphinx, 1 cover

After use, wipe the foil dry and store it in a way that it does not come into contact with water. Keep the remaining sheets of paper in the black bag and only open it just before printing, as the light-sensitive layer reacts to sunlight. Once dry, you can frame the finished print, paste it into a journal, or use it as an unconventional postcard. If the first attempt does not turn out as expected, try exposing another sheet for a little longer or at a different time of day when the sun is shining more strongly. When crafting with children, it is advisable to prepare a container of water in advance and a place where the wet images can dry peacefully.

This kit is suitable for both young and old enthusiasts of history and travel who wish to try an old photographic technique without complicated equipment. With 5 sheets of paper, you can print the design multiple times and experiment with how the exposure time affects the intensity of the blue colour. The small A6 format is suitable for a desk frame, a notice board, or as an addition to a gift. It is a practical choice for afternoon crafting with children as well as for art clubs.
