The blue molecules embedded in the Solar print paper are sensitive to ultra-violet light, so sunlight will cause the paper to fade from blue to white!
Simply arrange objects on top of the paper and put it out in the sunlight until the paper turns almost white, then quickly rinse the Solar print paper in water and dry to expose your beautiful Solar print! As the original blue compound is soluble, water washes it away, leaving white paper where you placed the objects. Additionally, the paper that was exposed to the sun turns deep blue in the water as an oxidation reaction occurs.
Combining art and science, the Solar print possibilities are endless.
