No Camera What?

This weeks activity takes the form of a 24 hour challenge to create 5 images without the apparatus familiar to us (a.k.a. the camera).


Since my project celebrates childhood and the world of imagination, and since I was already scheduled to spend the day with my daughter at a girls camp I decided to try some respondent-generated images with the classic cyanotype paper (which, I have never actually used before - gasp!) A special thanks to Amazon 1 day shipping!  I told the girls how it worked and encouraged them to 'create a scene out of their imagination.'  Loved the results- also the girls thought the paper very magical and re-named it UNICORN paper.


They designed on regular paper first so as not to be rushed in their concepts (look at us 'at one' with nature). 







On a side note- I have to say, at the beginning of the week when I glanced ahead and saw the 'Hands Off' challenge my mind was a total blank on ideas.  I have LOVED seeing everyone's interpretation and all the variety of ways this was able to be accomplished!!
