Have you ever played the game "Hungry Hippos"?
If so - then you'll know that you need small white plastic spheres!!!!

The term "blueprint" was originally derived from the visual aspects of prints made using the contact printing process of cyanotype. It is cyanotype which produces the white lines on blue background which are characteristic of the traditional blueprint.

yeti_c wrote:Indeed - and a blue print is a negative of the "white" print is it not?
With the white print being the one used in real terms - and the blue print being the archive from which to create multiple white prints?
Either way though - it's your choice...

Also, if it really was a bunch of kids coming upon their dad's blueprint, would their drawings have a neon glow? Besides the fact that they don't look good, it all just seems kind of random.
