I’ve been experimenting recently with double coating and exposing bioplastic cyanotype.
This one has been coated & exposed three times while wet. The extra moisture the bioplastic is absorbing is causing drying issues hence the cracks in this piece.

Cyanotype print of my back on homemade paper made from paper and plastic medical prescription packets.
Finding it really difficult to get a strong image, but maybe that’s not a bad thing?
