We got a sun print kit for the Holidays, and I was bored enough today to give it a test.
For this experiment, a hawk feather and a stencil were placed on the paper, and sandwiched between a small cutting board and a piece of plexiglass. It was all held in place with four hand clamps. It was a little shady with the low sun coming through the trees.

It was looking pretty good in the sunshine.
The final piece, rinsed and dried. I’m happy with this:
