When coating with cyanotype there are often brush-marked edges I choose to remove.
Today I'm using these edge strips, from watercolour paper, to make a composite background.
I'm then using multiple layers of tissue paper edges to make an abstract 'paper negative'.
This is all held in a contact frame to expose for several days. Maybe a week.

Started some #metamorphogram (cyanotype mixed with origami) images.
Folded from archival tissue paper, which results in poor origami, but the image will be what I need.
Maple leaf, by Peter Engel. Argonaut and Flat Shell w/10 segments by Tomoko Fuse.
Exposing for... a while... in a contact frame.
Ably assisted by Border Collie.

A transformation in cyanotype.
It begins as a very simple origami box with a couple of coins in it.
And end up as an abstract geometric image.
A memory of it's brief time as a coin box, written there in blue and white.
