Remember when photography classes were taught with film. The first assignment in any Photo 101 class was almost always to create a cyanotype to understand how light sensitive paper works. Nowadays, using sunlight and chemicals to create an image feels like too much work, but that doesn't mean you have to forgo the the look altogether.
If you asked someone today to make a cyanotype, she might look in confusion at her digital camera and then ask where the heck do you buy Prussian blue, aqueous potassium ferricyanide and aqueous ferric ammonium citrate. For this project, you just need to be able to locate spray paint and paper...phew!
Using found natural objects like leaves and pressed flowers, these "cyanotypes" are an easy and inexpensive way to fill some real estate on your walls. By grouping more than one together, you have an instant collection! Since you are using spray paint instead of Prussian blue, feel free to get creative and change the cyan in these prints to any color you want.

You can buy cyanotype paper at most craft stores in the kids projects section. It's about ten bucks for a few sheets if I remember right.
I like the idea of silver frames. ;)
Would love to see these in other colors as suggested. Also in multiple colors- a turquoise layer with an indigo in the same frame? Pink with red? Hmmmm
As a great kid project, construction paper works great. Lay some objects out on it in the sun for about an hour and it makes a nice sun print/cyanotype wannabe.
I don't think this is exactly a "without chemicals" project since spray paint is involved!
Sunprints cost no more than the spray paint and paper, look better, and don't require you to deal with aerated chemicals and paint dust. Plus, buying them supports Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science.
Also, btw, the Canadian House and Home link appears to be broken.
Don't be fooled this has nothing to do with cyanotypes. As an artist and photographer it drives me crazy when a designer creates "art" for a space when there is no real artistic approach to it. As well if you are going to call it a cyanotype then create a cyanotype. The actual chemicals used in the real process are less toxic and more environmentally friendly then the air-born spray paint and it's propellent.
