This unique and original botanical cyanotype was handmade on cold press watercolour paper with silhouettes drawn and cut by me, combined with plants gathered from my gardens or foraged from the forest in which I dwell in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The materials are arranged on coated paper and exposed to sunlight; when making wet cyanotypes I lightly spray the paper with a vinegar solution and sprinkle spices on the surface before laying them outside under glass. Afterward they are washed in a spring water bath to remove the iron salt residue. The reveal begins here as they turn Prussian Blue when they dry, a truly magical process from start to finish with surprising results.
This creative process combines my love of plants and place and involves the use of elements; making their creation a wondrous gift of joy to me that is my pleasure to share with you!
5 inches x 7 inches; mounted with white matboard to fit an 8 inch x 10 inch frame.
Comes in a cellophane sleeve.
Please display away from direct sunlight.
Note:
I photograph the cyanotypes that you see, colors may vary slightly due to screen differences.
If they look slightly crooked, it's due to the camera angle!
