Under the needle, a wet cyan/solarfast print on cotton of a tall blue lettuce leaf. I love the shape and size of them. #artquilt #fiberart #wetcyan #printmaking

As I'm gearing up for this year's botanical printmaking season, I realized I had one set of prints from late last fall I hadn't shared yet. So here for your enjoyment are a pair of black cherry leaf prints, done on cotton sateen. More on my blog, link in comments. #fiberart #wetcyan

This batch has two large prints on cotton sateen, and four single leaf prints on mineral paper. There's a ton of color and pattern variation on all of them-click through and enjoy! #wetcyan #cyanotype #blueprint #altphotography #printmaking #redmulberry

The mix was mostly cyanotype chemicals with just a splash of Jacquard solarfast solar dyes.
I then prepped 3 smaller panels with the same setup, and I still had some leaves to play with, so I did some panels on mineral paper.
I am very happy with the finished prints! #wetcyan #cyanotype #blueprint

A beautiful wet cyan print of box elder leaves with an angry red slash running through it? That's where I'm at right now. Also some really detailed and lovely milkweed leaf prints. It's not a weed in my garden! Details on my blog, link in comments. #wetcyan #cyanotype #printmaking #altphotography

Here’s the finished print from yesterday’s in-progress post. Despite the shortish exposure time (seemingly endless rainstorms here) it turned out really complex and interesting. Maybe I DO know what I’m doing 😄 #wetcyanotype #wetcyan #printmaking #altphotography #photogram

"Be like the bird who,
pausing in her flight awhile
on boughs too slight,
feels them give way beneath her,
and yet sings,
knowing she hath wings."
- Victor Hugo
