Toned Cyanotypes

Since I am extremely tired I am not going to write much today but I did want to share a few photos.  All day today I have been printing cyanotypes and then toning them.  I have 20 toned prints at the moment and I am thinking that  8-10 of them look awesome and are worthy to be in my show :) Hopefully they don't dry too dark though.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the process these little fellas went through to look awesome:

I coated a few more 6x4 pieces of 140#

This one is actually 10x6 inches

I scanned in all of the cyanotypes I made so I can have record of them before I toned them all
The top print: Cyanotype only went in the Tannic Acid Bath
The bottom print: Finished product - Tannic Acid bath, water bath, Sodium Carbonate bath, water bath
Huge difference right?! I love it :)

Finished product!! I am REALLY happy with this one.  Originally I wanted it to be 18x12 but I am liking the 10x6. We shall see...
 Thoughts on what you think are more than welcome :D
