For the prompt “understory” I thought of ferns in the dappled light of the forest floor. This is my toned cyanotype of a fern on watercolour paper.

Cyanotype on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper of some plants from my garden: Black-eyed susan and lemon balm.

I made some more cyanotypes. This toned cyanotype with fern didn’t turn out at all how I envisioned it but it’s a happy accident! I like the washing soda trails like shooting stars and gentle sepia tone.

This is my one of a kind wet cyanotype on water colour paper 11" x 14" has an image of leaves. I toned and tinted the cyanotype with green tea! Tannins in the tea add sepia tones to an otherwise blue print.

I made a second cyanotype of a cloudy sky printed with my Lino block with several different kites and wind socks. Then I printed my block on various beautiful patterned and coloured Japanese washi papers, and collaged them on my image. I did a little embellishment with Posca pen.

The koï-shaped wind socks are traditionally flown in Japan on Children’s Day, May 5.

I felt my cyanotype of a cloudy sky needed more, so I carved a Lino block with several different kites and wind socks and printed it in hill ink over the cyanotype. Then I printed my block on various beautiful patterned and coloured Japanese washi papers, and collaged them on my image. I did a little embellishment with Posca pen. I’m planning a series of these prints.

This one of a kind cyanotype with tumeric sun print on water colour paper 11" x 14" has an image of virginia creeper leaves.

An anthotype is a sun print made with light-sensitive pigments. I painted pigment from tumeric directly onto water colour paper and then also treated it with photochemicals.

The lily-of-the-valley, day lily leaves and black locust leaves are clear on this wet cyanotype.

Along with the photochemicals I used water, vinegar, lilac dye, curry powder, coffee grounds, salt and paprika on this one.

I think I am just going to keep picking the invasive plants like black locust which appear in my yard and make art.

I painted vinegar right onto this wet cyanotype on watercolour paper. I think the white spots were salt. There were leaves and flowers but mainly you see the chemistry in the abstract swirling blues, greens, rust and white splotches and hints of leaf silhouettes.

Here’s the wet cyanotype with the lemon slices and leaves. Love how the lemon was both translucent and a source of moisture and acid.

Along with the photochemicals I used water, lilac dye, salt, vinegar, paprika, curry powder and coffee grounds.

Someone commented that I was like a “mad scientist artist” experimenting with wet cyanotype. I’m kind of loathe to contribute to the mad scientist trope, but also, Bwhahaha!!! Now we’re talking. I dig how those lemon slices turned out.

Apprenez à faire des cyanotypes: c'est facile, pas cher, amusant, créatif, et ça peut se faire avec des enfants. Ce dimanche 28 Mai de 14-17h au Labo Diva je vous apprends à faire des cyanotypes. Au programme de l'après-midi:
- un petit historique de ce procédé photographique
- une démonstration de A à Z (ou presque) de la production d'une des mes images cyanotypée
- une activité photogramme qui vous permettra de créer votre propre oeuvre d'art (en utilisant des feuilles, tiges, herbes et autres plantes pour créer des silhouettes blanches et bleues.)
- vous pourrez me poser toutes les questions que vous souhaitez sur le procédé.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Still exploring.

Owl in flight with vintage lace cyanotype on watercolour paper. I made a few cyanotypes, playing with the owl silhouette. I think the lace makes a good round eye with radiating feathers.
