Four years ago, I had fun trying to use gummy bear

Four years ago, I had fun trying to use gummy bears to make #cyanotype on glass. It... worked, but that wasn't very clean because of sugar and all the shit within.
Well four years later, I still have that plate, it hasn't moved, no ant ate it.
So is it right to say that gummy bears have archival qualities? 😬😆

1/ Gelatin fragility : Let’s start with a common issue.
Until the end of the process, everything was fine, and while you are rinsing your print, draperies start to form in the gelatin. If you’re lucky they’ll stay on the glass, but most of the time they dissolve in the water or rip off.
What happened here ? I think, two main reasons are the temperature of water (above 20°C, the gelatin starts to melt), and the quality of the gelatin. Food gelatin is fine for the first experiments, but it’s not strong enough. Photographic gelatin is better : you can put it under running water, it won't flinch!

Triptych One of my first #cyanotype on glass, made

Triptych
One of my first #cyanotype on glass, made in September 2016. This print has a lot of flaws, but it was the start of this journey. I put together 3 plates, and mounted them so they can fold or stand. I should do more of those.
In the next few weeks I'll show here examples of failed prints, and I will try to explain what went wrong. But for now, let's just enjoy the blue shadows.
