Overview
A6 Cyanotype Kit with Louvre Pyramid Foil in Paris 5 Sheets of Sun Paper 14.8 x 10.5 cm Cover Blue Print for Crafting

The cyanotype kit featuring the Louvre Pyramid allows you to create your own blue sun print in A6 format. The package contains 5 sheets of light-sensitive paper measuring 14.8 x 10.5 cm, one foil with a black and white image, and a cover. The motif captures the glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Parisian palace, reflected in the water surface in front of it. After exposure to sunlight, a symmetrical blue and white image with a delicate drawing of the glass structure and the palace facade will appear on the paper. The result is suitable as decoration, a greeting card, or a personal gift with a Parisian atmosphere.

No special equipment is required for printing, just sunlight and water. Place a sheet of paper in the cover, lay the foil with the motif on top, and leave the cover in direct sunlight for approximately 10–15 minutes. Then, remove the paper, thoroughly rinse it with clean water, and let it dry. A short exposure may cause the motif to fade during rinsing, and shadows from trees or buildings may create uneven shades on the paper. Since the sensitive layer is applied by hand, remnants of the solution may be visible on the back of the sheet, which do not affect the front side.

  • Type – cyanotype kit (sun print)
  • Motif – glass pyramid of the Louvre in Paris
  • 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 Louvre pyramid motif, 1 cover

After each use, wipe the foil and store it in a dry place, ideally kept within the cover. Keep the papers you are not currently using in the black bag and open it only just before printing to ensure the light-sensitive layer retains its sensitivity. The dried print can be framed, glued into a holiday album, or used as an unconventional bookmark. If your first attempt seems pale, expose another sheet for a little longer or at a time when the sun is shining brightly. For crafting with children, it is good to have a bowl of water ready and a place for drying. Lay the wet paper on a flat surface to prevent it from warping while drying.

This kit will be appreciated by fans of Paris, modern architecture, and artistic techniques who want to try cyanotype without complicated tools. With 5 sheets of paper, you can repeatedly print the image and observe how the intensity of blue changes with exposure time. The small A6 format fits into a desk frame or an envelope. It is perfect for afternoon crafting at home, in the garden, or at school.
