Time to Add Wax
Once your cyanotype is dry, it can be used like any other type of
collage material. It can be torn, cut, and layered to provide
elements to a collage work, or it can be used whole, similar to
encaustic photographic material.
Rice paper is very absorbent and is a good choice for this process.
Begin by applying two layers of wax to your substrate. Lightly
burnish your paper to the warm wax and then adhere with a
tacking iron. Add additional layers on top based on design
preferences.
Use a tacking iron to adhere paper to
substrate.
