Exactly same as before except Green Tea Toned, 1minute only.

Green Tea toner: 8 Tea Pigs green tea bags brewed in 1.5l boiling tap water for 15mins.

Great work, I like the softness in tones on the first one, but prefer the second, has a nice two tone effect.

Many thanks indeed.
In a slight face-palm moment, I also now realise I used the wrong neg to do these with - I used the neg with the curve I built for Argyrotype for these: a very different beast from the Cyanotype curve. I'm actually fine with this result - the Cyanotype curve introduces much much more contrast esp in the lower mid-tones; but the lighter effect of using the wrong neg for these has worked (accidentally) very well for these negs. Also indicates (for those who were wondering) why there is a lack of contrast - since the argyrotype neg has simply taken quite a lot of it away. I may do the marjoram print again with the correct negative, and wash it in distilled water for a good while to see if I can get the highlights looking a bit clearer.
My go-to message to self with Alt pro is that no "mistake" is a real mistake unless you have a completely unusable image. Everything is an experiment!

In one further discovery/note to self, if you mask off the neg with rubylith when doing these, it's then impossible to tell which neg you are using if the marker pen note in the neg border is covered up... Further complications in the setup always introduce further possible places to make "mistakes"!!

That's very cool, Bob!
